Exploring the CREATIVITY of
the MATURE BODY & MIND
Striking Attitudes is a professional dance theatre company making work that celebrates the older dancer and highlights their unique attributes. We are an organisation run by, for and with older people. We offer creative sessions, workshops and performance opportunities to older performers, trained and untrained.
Striking Attitudes considers those over 50 to be an under-represented group without equal opportunities and we strive to change this, believing people of all ages benefit significantly from the creative physical experience and social interaction. Our work extends the quality of life and makes a significant contribution to the concept of positive ageing.
Making work that celebrates the unique attributes of the older dancer – both professional and community.

Thank you so much for my first Striking Attitudes’ experience. I absolutely loved every moment! I love the sessions for the dancing and the creativity of being with others giving so much.
Lynette
I think it’s been brilliant! I’ve really enjoyed the rhythm of it. I really like the balance between what is set and having the freedom to explore. It’s been a lifeline for me.
Janet
It’s been a lovely experience coming back into creativity, meeting people I wouldn’t normally have met and rediscovering my body and the way it moves.
