Move. Laugh. Connect. 

Live in or near Sturminster Newton or Swanage? Looking for a feel-good way to stay active, meet new people, and have fun each week?


With support from the Britford Trust, Artsreach have collaborated with us and venues; The Exchange (Sturminster Newton) and The Mowlem (Swanage) to offer weekly social dance classes designed especially for older adults aged 60+.

Join community dance artist Samantha Gillingham and discover the joy of moving to music in a friendly, relaxed environment. You’ll learn easy, enjoyable routines, boost your wellbeing, and share plenty of smiles along the way.

No experience is needed. Seated dance option available, so everyone can take part.
