Move and Connect brings together gentle exercise, creative movement and social connection in a friendly community setting. It’s perfect for busy parents seeking low-impact activity that supports balance, mobility and mental wellbeing while fitting into a weekday routine.
You’ll be welcomed into a relaxed session where every activity can be adapted to seated or standing positions. Expect a warm, encouraging tone from a Professional Dance Movement Therapist who guides simple movement, light cardio and balance exercises to support physical health and wellbeing.
Sessions mix movement and social time so you can leave feeling more energised and connected. The focus on social connection and mental wellbeing makes this more than just exercise; it’s a chance to meet neighbours and enjoy supportive conversation while you move.
Parents will appreciate the gentle pace and inclusive approach — no previous experience is needed, and the class encourages playful exploration of movement that benefits posture, coordination and mood.
Each session contains a consistent, easy-to-follow structure: a gentle warm-up, light cardio and balance work, simple cognitive exercises, relaxing movement and a little dancing. Activities are adaptable and can all be done seated if preferred.
Typical elements include:
- Warm-up and mobility
- Light cardio and balance practice
- Cognitive movement tasks and gentle dancing
The class is low impact and suitable for a wide range of fitness levels, appealing to parents who want a manageable weekly movement habit that supports overall wellbeing, balance and social connection.
