It’s an uplifting experience to learn new dances whilst keeping up with connections. A much welcome boost to loneliness.Lali, ENBEldersCo Participant
It helps me with my memory to be able to remember the moves, it brings a smile to my face, and I look forward to my Wednesday class.Raj, ENBEldersCo participant
In a notable past project, ENBEldersCo worked with choreographer Charlie Brittain (ENBYouthCo Alumni 2013) to create Nexus, a new piece inspired by the work of William Forsythe. Nexus premiered at the Ignition Dance Festival 2018, and was performed for the closing of the Hounslow Older People’s Festival at Redlees Studios.
ENBEldersCo is a fun and interesting way to keep mobile, improve fitness and meet people. The classes are challenging, enjoyable and motivational; dancing to live music is just wonderful!ENBEldersCo Participant
