🩷 In the rush of everyday life, wellbeing is often the first thing we put on hold.

Caring Cultures in Dance is a one-day programme to help you feel more balanced, resilient, and reconnected to yourself.

Led by three incredible practitioners, the day offers a compassionate, body-aware journey into wellbeing, self-care and the care of others. You will be expertly guided to explore how we relate to our minds, bodies, and identities when health, injury, pain, or neurodivergence shape our experience.

Delivered by Dancers' Career Development and One Dance UK on 22 July, the event is part of People Dancing's Summer Programme 2026.
