Why Flourish Dance?

Inclusive dance to care homes

At Flourish Dance, we believe that every person has the ability to flourish, however big or small, regardless of age or ability. Having witnessed the amazing benefits of dance and movement firsthand, we bring inclusive dance, movement and music to your home, without the need to travel.

What makes our dance sessions different?

Fresh monthly themes

We introduce a new theme every month, keeping each session fresh, engaging and something to look forward to! From Ballroom-inspired styles, Ballet and Jazz to Tap, Irish and Scottish dancing — the list goes on.

Sensory props & accessories

We also use props, themed accessories and music to bring each session to life. Our themes often reflect seasonal celebrations, special occasions and events taking place throughout the UK.

Live performances

Each session includes 2 live dance performances, showcasing a variety of dance styles and themes. This gives residents the choice to simply sit back and enjoy the entertainment, or join in with their own movements.

Interactive entertainment

And depending on the theme, there may even be a sing-along! From familiar favourites to seasonal classics, there’s sure to be something for everyone. Ultimately, we’re bringing the joy of live dance and entertainment directly to your residents!
