How can I help you?

I'm interested in:

Person-centred movement for schools & communities

Engaging groups through joyful and creative movement sessions.

I run sessions for mainstream schools, SILC’s, and community groups for adults and children with learning disabilities and autism. I am based in West Sussex, and am happy to discuss travelling further afield.

Each movement session is guided by my knowledge and experience of how dance can be used as a tool for well-being while also collaborating with the group to encourage movement, autonomy, creativity, and self-expression.

Whether we have an hour together or a whole afternoon, your community members will leave smiling and satisfied that they got to follow their creativity and move their bodies.

To give you an idea of what it’s like, here’s some of the kind of feedback I received after running group sessions:

“Charlotte has a lovely manner with our pupils and encouraged engagement from all pupils, even those who were a bit shy or reluctant initially. The feedback from pupils and our staff was always extremely positive. Charlotte adapted her sessions, planning around our school topic, using inclusive props and symbols to aid communication.“

“Thank you for all your hard work this half term. I know speaking from my classes point of view they have absolutely loved the dance sessions with you and from when I have been in there, they're amazing and really engaging for the students.”

“Charlotte’s teaching is very effective and she adapted her teaching style excellently to match the needs of our group (We are all Hard of Hearing). She created a safe environment in which to learn new skills. I feel more relaxed in myself & am so happy we had the opportunity to work with her.“

“Sophie absolutely loves her dance lessons with you and refers to it as ‘the highlight of her week’. We’ve noticed she is always happier after her lessons. She is growing in confidence - both in her dancing and generally outside of dance. She feels it relaxes her - particularly if she’s had a stressful week at school”

What’s included in a group class?

I run single hour long classes as well as all day multiple session classes and everything in between on a one-off or regular basis.
We’ll spend our time together dancing and creating as inspired by the interests of participants, whether that’s the music they like, themes the community is exploring or seasons and current events such as holidays.
During our initial call, we’ll work out the best length of the session for your group, ensuring it suits the usual schedule and routine of your community. I’m happy to work around tea breaks and the like!
From this conversation, I can work out my fees and send you a quote.
Please note support staff are required to be present in the room and are encouraged to get involved with the session.

Here’s an example of what a group session can look like:

Leaps & Bounds is a dance programme run by Yorkshire Dance and delivers regular creative dance classes for adults with learning disabilities across Leeds.

During the pandemic, we created an exciting four-part series exploring the natural world and universe (water, wind, the stars and the sun). Check out these videos and have the tools to create and build your own improvised routine.

This project is funded by Aspire Community Benefit Society.

Recharging and replenishing practices for individuals

A love note to your body and mind. Take some time to tend to yourself through movement, rest, journaling or meditation. A little goes a long way.

You may be wondering what my sessions are like. Here are some of the kind words my clients have shared with me:

“Thought-provoking to get an insight into meditation and yoga. Charlotte was very effective as a tutor, with a pleasant relaxing voice and manner. Made me think seriously about doing meditation from now on.”

“The perfect way to end a month and to get ready for another. A moment of stillness, reflection and movement that is so precious and feels like the best gift to give yourself.”

“This was an absolutely magical practice and I slept so well afterwards. The Yoga, the journaling, the music… It felt so complete. Afterwards, I felt so peaceful, grounded and rested.”
