body moving (pilot programme)
West Cornwall, 2024
These classes offer gentle body conditioning, movement fundamentals and dancing like no one's watching. A welcoming, inclusive environment for reconnecting with your moving body, and meeting other bodies on the move. With brilliant music, and expert tuition.
In partnership with West Cornwall NHS Social Prescribing and Mental Health support teams and their networks.
