This is our new weekend session which we intend to continue in November. Join us to safely dance with other people in a physically distanced way - in the park. It's free but you must book due to the pandemic situation. Thank-you.

Dance in the Park is a facilitated session where we'll use games, exercises and improvised dance to enjoy moving together. We'll research and investigate using dancing without physical contact - including using sticks to connect and contact-through. Read an article about 'contact-through': https://andrewdance.org/contact-improvis...

Bring a water bottle and wear loose clothing in which you can move freely and which is warm. Note: no amplified music is allowed in the park but acoustic instruments welcome.

Safety: If you have any symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19) then please do not attend! Stay at home and contact the NHS. It's essential for us to comply with the law and guidance on COVID19, and to minimise the possibility of infection. We will provide hand sanitiser for your use. Let's stay safe!

You can dance with or without a face-covering. While the World Health Organisation recommends that you don't wear a face-covering/mask exercising outside, there is no guidance from the UK Government regarding face-coverings and sports or exercise outside. However, it is important to maintain a physical distance of at least one metre from others.
