💃 It’s National Fitness Day! 💪✨

When we think about fitness, we often think of the gym, running or lifting weights… but dance is fitness too!

Dance gets our whole body moving. It builds strength, mobility, balance and coordination, gets the heart working and challenges the brain all while being creative, listening to music and connecting with others.

This year’s National Fitness Day theme is “Powered by You” a lovely reminder that being active can look different for everyone.

So today, put on your favourite song and MOVE! Dance in the kitchen, take a walk, stretch, sway, balance… it all counts. ❤️

And if you’d like to move with us:

We’re delighted to share some good news!

Dare2Dance Company CIC has been awarded through the Space2Grow Fund to support the next stage of our early years work in Barnet.

This funding will help us continue developing Move, Play & Grow, our early movement programme for young children and their parents/carers, using movement, art and creative play to support communication, confidence, physical development and connection.

A huge thank you to Young Barnet Foundation and the Space2Grow funders for believing in our work and helping us make these sessions accessible to local families.

We’re looking forward to another year of moving, playing, growing and connecting together.

African Dance at the 3rd Be Well Family Dance Festival 2026

What an incredible energy this workshop brought to artsdepot!

Led by Nii Boye Owoo & Nii Kwartey Owoo, families came together through African dance, traditional rhythms and live drumming moving, stomping, clapping and responding to each other across generations.

This short trailer captures some of the joy, rhythm and shared energy that filled the room and later spilled onto the stage for our fantastic festival finale.

Thank you Nii Boye and Nii Kwartey for bringing such wonderful energy to BeWell, and thank you to every family who joined in.

A look back at the 3rd Be Well Family Dance Festival 2026! Over the next few posts, we’ll be sharing short videos from each of the workshops that filled artsdepot with movement, music, creativity and families dancing together.

Our workshops included Mediterranean Fusion, Bollywood Dance, Street Dance & Hip-Hop, African Dance, Groove Together, and Art & Movement for Under-5s, led by our wonderful artists:

Nii Kwartey Owoo, Claudia Massera, Michael Joseph (MJ), Archita Kumar, Maga Radlowska - Judd & Nadia Lord.

And here is our festival trailer capturing just some of the energy of the workshops, performances and the incredible finale when the whole theatre got up and danced!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and made the 3rd BeWell such a special day.
