ABOUT BLŴM DANCE
Blŵm - the Welsh word for bloom - is a facilitator of dance classes for every Body, no matter your age, previous dance experience or level of mobility, to bloom in their own way. Blŵm Dance is aiming to create an active community of dancers in Gloucestershire through regular classes, workshops and social events.
CLASSES WE OFFER
Join Our Dance Community
ONE ON ONE OR SMALL GROUP CLASSES
These sessions are created with the dancer in mind. If you have any specific injuries or problems with specific movements Sophie will help you in these sessions through dance, yoga and pilates to find solutions. Send us a message or give us a call to see if these sessions may be right for you.
ADULT CONTEMPORARY
Our adult contemporary classes use the framework of a professional company class paired with the inclusivity of Blŵm Dance to offer a fun dance class that offers dancers a place to work on their technique in a low pressure and fun environment. The class will take from Graham, release and flying low techniques to create a well-rounded class that builds strength, agility and flexibility alongside developing an appreciation and understanding of contemporary dance.
FUN DANCE
Fun Dance class does exactly what it says on the tin - we dance and we have fun! This class is accessible for all no matter your movement capacity or experience. Each week we will learn fun and interactive group dances to popular music in all dance styles in a no pressure environment - we're just dancing for the fun of it.
DANCE FOR EARLY ONSET PARKINSON'S
This fun and engaging class is for those with Early Onset Parkinson's or similar neurological conditions. The class is specifically designed for those in the early stages of their issues to offer movement mechanisms that can be translated to use in everyday life, as well as just being a really fun chance to dance with like-minded people! Unsure if this class is the right fit for you or interested in learning more? Get in contact with a member of our team, we’re happy to answer any questions.
ONLINE DANCE CLASSES
Due to Coronavirus our in-person classes have come to a halt for the time being. But at Blŵm Dance we haven't let that stop us dancing! We have simply moved our classes online. The class is based on our Dance for Parkinson’s class but is accessible for all mobilities and ages. It challenges while still being a fun chance to move your body through self isolation - and the playlist is great!
Prerecorded group classes, livestreams and one-to-ones are all available.
