Chester Community Class
Open Level Contemporary Dance Classes in Chester. Everyone welcome, classes are accessible to all level, abilities and experiences.
Ranging from guided improvisation to more formal dance exercises, we awaken our bodies to find ease and flow, to listen to sensations within and to play with the physical possibilities and personal expressions that arise.
Classes will be led by experienced Chester based professional dance artists with a focus on making these sessions fun, inclusive and accessible for all.
Please come and join us and bring a friend – alternate Tuesdays at Storyhouse (Studio).
All sessions are from 9.30 am – 11.00 am.
Cost: £3/£5/£8 depending on your individual circumstances- cash or card accepted on the day!

Dance and PMLD Practice Sharing Network Meeting
2025-10-22 12:30 - 14:00
Our next Dance and PMLD Practice Sharing Network Meeting will take place online on Thursday 23rd October 2025 from 12:30pm to 2pm
We’re delighted to welcome Rebecca Swift from Entelechy Arts as our guest speaker for this meeting.
For over 30 years Entelechy Arts has been running, ‘Ambient Jam‘ – a unique dance improvisation programme arising from long term collaborations with adults and young people who have profound and multiple disabilities. Ambient Jam improvisation sessions bring together members and volunteers with a team of dance artists, musicians and sculptors. Together they explore movement and music with tactile sculpture twice a week at The Albany in Deptford. Rebecca will introduce us to Ambient Jam and then Ruth and Jane will share their recent experiences of facilitating ‘Wanna Dance? Jams’.
We will then open up the conversation between us to further explore this rich, yet often hidden, work.
Rebecca, Ruth and Jane will bring questions about the work and processes and we really look forward to hearing your thoughts, responses and questions too.
The Dance and PMLD Practice Sharing Network is a group of artists, practitioners and other professionals from across the UK and internationally who come together to explore, question and develop our dance practice with people with PMLD.
We warmly invite new practitioners to join the group to share knowledge, practice, questions and challenges of dancing with people with PMLD.
If you would like to join us for this next meeting please visit our Network page and click ‘Join the Network’ to send us an email.
We look forward to gathering with you online on 23rd October!
