***** FREE *****
Sometimes we don't notice how much tension we're carrying until we give ourselves permission to slow down.
An hour of movement can help us breathe a little deeper, move a little more freely, and simply enjoy being in our bodies again.
That's what Dance Connect is all about – no pressure, no performance, just moving in a way that feels right for you.
On Thursday THIS WEEK I’m offering a FREE taster session if you've been wondering whether to come along.
Thursday 3rd September at 6:30pm
The Soul Space Studio, Morecambe (First floor). Plenty of free on-street parking nearby.

I'm touched to know my work is making a difference to participants. A huge thank you to Wayne who took the time to leave me this lovely feedback. It’s made my day!

“Working with Penny is a liberating joy. The years of dedication to her craft are evident in her work. As soon as you begin you know you are in the safe hands of a deeply experienced practitioner but, perhaps more importantly someone whom you can really trust.”

Moving into Awareness, Halton Mill workshop attendee.

As the heat of a fierce summer begins to mellow, it’s lovely to look forward to retaining the warmth in our bodies through the gentle, guided practice of Somatic Movement.

Curious about my Adult Contemporary Dance classes?
I've got two free opportunities to come and experience a class this summer.
Thursday 27th August, 6:30–7:30pm
Thursday 3rd September, 6:30–7:30pm
If you've been thinking, "I'd like to try it, but I'm not sure it's for me," these free taster sessions are the perfect chance.
Dance Connect isn't about learning hard routines or getting things perfectly right. It's about moving in a way that feels good for your body. Gentle guidance, beautiful music and a calm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone is free to join in at their own pace.
No experience needed. All adults welcome.
