Dancing for Wellbeing currently runs 12 weekly groups in a variety of accessible community venues across the Harrogate district which help older people improve their physical, emotional and social well-being.

In later life, keeping active and involved in the community isn’t easy if you have health or mobility problems, are coping with bereavement or caring for your partner. Dancing for Well-Being is a not-for-profit community organisation which was set up in 2015 to help people in these situations. We dance, we sing, we chat, and have a lot of FUN together!

Members can move at their level, sitting or standing, and they don’t need a good memory; it’s gentle exercise, it helps release tension and stress, and the music and company really lift everyone’s spirits!Sessions last for an hour and a half: we dance for the first hour and spend the final 30 minutes chatting over refreshments.

Each session costs £6 per person, though please contact us if you're keen to attend but money is a worry. We currently have space at our groups running in Boroughbridge (Tuesdays), central Harrogate (Wednesdays), Starbeck (Thursdays), Darley (Thursdays), and Bilton (Fridays).
