Dance over to a Joyful Movement event this July
The Joyful Movement Dance Workshop takes place at Grosvenor Park, in Chester, on Wednesday, 30 July.
This year’s Joyful Movement campaign in Cheshire West and Chester will include an event to bring people together in celebration.
A dance workshop will take place as part of the month-long campaign, which aims to inspire people across the borough to move more in a way that makes them feel great.
The dance workshop, led by Cheshire Dance, will take place during Chester’s Community Family Fun Day, hosted by health and wellbeing organisation Healthbox.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for everyone to come together – no matter what your ability – learn a new dance and have a giggle doing it.
This is a free event in Grosvenor Park on Wednesday, 30 July, from 11am to 3pm.
Cllr Lisa Denson, Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Cabinet Member for A Fairer Future (Poverty, Public Health and Mental Health) said: “We’re so excited to announce the dance workshop as part of this year’s Joyful Movement campaign.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for everyone to come together – no matter what your ability – learn a new dance and have a giggle doing it.
“The Joyful Movement campaign is all about those little things we can all do because it’s fun and makes you smile. The idea is to share these simple things, inspire others and celebrate it.”
The campaign is organised by the Eat Well Be Active partnership, which includes Cheshire West and Chester Council, Active Cheshire, the NHS, Brio Leisure, the School Sports Partnership, Her-Place Charitable Trust, Fallen Angels, the Mersey Forest and more.
During July, partners are sharing photos and videos of people enjoying moving – whether it is a gentle stroll, Tai Chi, pushing grandchildren on the swings or even ice skating.
You won’t regret it, come join us.
Adam Holloway, from Cheshire Dance, said: “We’re delighted to join many organisations in support of the Joyful Movement campaign. We’ve been promoting the joy of dance and movement in Cheshire for nearly 50 years so this is right up our street.
“We welcome everybody in our dance sessions and aim to ensure everyone leaves feeling energised, having had lots of fun joining in with others, whatever your past experiences of dance might have been.
“For some it’ll be the first time you’ve taken part in something like this. You won’t regret it, come join us.”
It’s such a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to come together, have fun and feel the joy that movement can bring.
Jessica Conner, event organiser from Healthbox, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing a Joyful Movement dance workshop to this year’s Community Family Fun Day in Chester.
“It’s such a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to come together, have fun and feel the joy that movement can bring.
“A huge thank you to Cheshire Dance for leading the workshop – we can’t wait to see everyone getting involved and enjoying themselves.”
The workshop, for all abilities, takes place at Grosvenor Park from 1pm to 2pm on 30 July.
It will be in the open air, on grass in the centre of the park, and is accessible to people using wheelchairs.
No booking is necessary, just visit the event.
