Creative dance for care-experienced young people.
MoveRise is a free creative dance programme for care-experienced young people aged 11–18. It’s run by professional dance artists who actually know what they’re doing, in a space that’s yours. No pressure to perform. No routines to learn. No one telling you how to be.
You turn up. You move. You decide how far you want to take it.
Some people come because they love dance. Some come because they want to try something new. Some come because it’s a space that feels different from everything else in their week. All of those reasons are good enough.
What actually happens?
Sessions are led by professional dance artists who work with you, not at you. Expect creative movement, freestyle, music you actually want to hear, and space to experiment with your own ideas.
It’s not a class where someone stands at the front and you copy. It’s collaborative - you’re part of shaping what happens. The atmosphere is relaxed, the people are sound, and your dance artist will remember your name.
This is for you if…
✔️ You want to try something creative but don’t know where to start
✔️ You love music and want to do something with that energy
✔️ You’ve danced before and want to keep going
✔️ You’ve never danced and want to see what happens
✔️ You want a space where nobody’s judging you
✔️ You just want something that’s yours
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be fit. You don’t need to know anyone. You just need to show up.
