WHY DO WE EXIST?

We exist because we aspire to make dance more accessible, inclusive and affordable for people of all ages and abilities. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to move, create, connect and feel part of a community.

OUR VISION

To grow Shape Nurture Move CIC into a wider community programme offering accessible and subsidised dance, movement and wellbeing opportunities across different ages and abilities.

We believe movement has no age limit. It can shape confidence, nurture connection and keep us moving through every stage of life. Our vision is to make space for that for every body, every ability and every age.

The Versatility Hub is a free weekly programme for young people aged 11–19, created to develop versatile, confident and performance-ready dancers.

Every Monday is different. Sessions may focus on a particular area of development, some areas may be explored across several weeks, while others may change from session to session depending on the focus of the programme.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

The Hub is a space to train, create, perform and develop, with opportunities and session content changing throughout the programme.

Sessions may include:

  • Technical and style-based dance training

  • Choreography and performance development

  • Freestyle and movement exploration

  • Creating and filming your own routines

  • Industry-focused sessions and creative development

  • Exploring personal goals and future pathways

  • Performance and content opportunities when available

Opportunities will vary throughout the programme and are not guaranteed every week.
