Feedback from Striking Attitudes participants

“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.” – Sally

“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.” – Lynette

“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.” – Janet

“It’s been great! A highlight in the middle of the week.” – Jill

“I love these sessions!” – Diana

“So many things about the group have given me pleasure. To have the chance to dance again in my own way and not feel pressured or judged. To be in such a supportive and encouraging atmosphere gave many of us a much-needed confidence boost. Great to be taught and be a participant in a class rather than be the teacher and I have loved the stimulus and creativity that has emerged from this fusion of like-minded people. It’s been a chance to rediscover a love of dance and why it’s so important to us.

There has been so much fun and laughter in the workshops and a real pleasure from dancing together and watching each other. We have all been surprised at the wealth of ideas that have emerged week by week, as we opened up more and more and felt our confidence grow. However tired we were or stressed, it soon evaporated as we came together in the studio, and we left smiling, chatting. Every Thursday was a tonic it gave me a lift for the week. It has been different to any class I have been involved in before because of the wide range of ages and therefore life experiences of the participants. It was very special to be able to share memories, feelings, and experiences and express them through dance. Long may it continue.”- Shirley

“It makes me more aware of my physical self – usually in a positive way. It inspires me to keep fit. It is a really great opportunity to express myself as a person. When I’m dancing I’m just me, not a mother, grandmother, wife etc.” – Elizabeth

“It takes me out of myself and has a calming affect on my whole attitude to life. I really like being able to dance with people of my own age and being able to work towards film and stage work.” – Karen

“I am more flexible and relaxed and I find it very cathartic. I love the chance to work creatively towards a dance performance with a wonderful group of people.” – Olivia
