Mind & Body Kent offers various practical classes to encourage the joy of moving with others, as well as looking after your physical wellbeing.
Studies in dance therapy have shown what dancers have always known — that movement heals. Dancing and moving together boosts mood, eases depression, and helps us feel more connected, reducing loneliness and social isolation. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a lifelong mover, there’s a class for you. Explore our range of sessions across three venues and find the one that fits your rhythm — because everyone can dance, and moving always makes you feel better.

Real Stories, Real Women
“I have always enjoyed movement, sport and exercise but had never tried Contemporary dance. Not only did I find a supportive, positive, mixed ability group of women, but found a new way of really working my body without fear of injury. Our teacher Ali really understands the importance of balance, flexibility and the repetition needed to create beautiful dance whilst having fun and feeling good about yourself. A warm welcome always awaits."

Real Stories, Real Women
“I joined one of Ali’s dance classes in January. Her ongoing enthusiasm, encouragement, belief and humour have had nothing but a positive effect on my mind, body and spirit.”
Zoe, 62
"Ali’s WD40+ dance session enables me to be a dancer.
It encourages my sensitivity towards different music accompaniment, to cultural and creative ideas, and to other people in the class. It encourages me to be aware of what my body can do and what I should focus on to keep fit and moving. It makes sure I mix with a wonderful group of people who delight in moving and laughing. It’s my Monday morning ‘fix’!!
