Our ProgrammeS
Eleni delivers a diverse programme of community-led dance activity across North-East Wales. Our work supports wellbeing, creativity and connection for people of all ages, working in partnership with communities, schools and organisations.
With nearly 50 years of experience, our programmes respond to local needs and are shaped by the people who take part. We currently work across Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham, delivering regular classes, school programmes, health-focused sessions and collaborative projects.
Community Dance Classes
We deliver regular, welcoming community dance classes that support physical and emotional wellbeing, confidence and social connection. Our classes are designed to be inclusive and accessible, with no prior dance experience needed.
Sessions include gentle movement, creative dance and structured exercises that support mobility, coordination and enjoyment.
Community classes take place in local venues and are particularly popular with adults and older people, offering both physical benefits and valuable opportunities to connect with others.
Dance in Schools
We work with schools across Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham to deliver creative dance programmes aligned with the Curriculum for Wales.
Our school-based work supports:
-
creativity and self-expression
-
confidence and collaboration
-
well-being and positive engagement in learning
Programmes are tailored to each school’s context and can be delivered in English, Welsh, or bilingually. We offer curriculum-linked sessions, topic-based projects, taster workshops and longer-term programmes, as well as CPD opportunities for staff.
Health & Wellbeing Programmes
Dance plays a powerful role in supporting both mental and physical health. We deliver movement-based wellbeing sessions in partnership with health and community organisations, creating safe, supportive spaces for people to move, connect and feel better.This includes our movement for mind work with Kim Inspire, supporting adults’ mental health through gentle, accessible movement that helps lift mood, reduce anxiety and build confidence.
Our health and wellbeing programmes are shaped by participants’ needs and focus on enjoyment, reassurance and connection.
Partnership & Specialist Projects
Alongside our regular provision, we deliver partnership and specialist projects that respond to specific community needs.
These include:
-
inclusive projects with disabled people and people with additional needs
-
work with children and young people through school and cultural partnerships
-
longer-term collaborations with arts, health and community organisations
-
We believe the strongest work happens through partnership — combining expertise, listening carefully and working together to create meaningful impact.
Looking ahead
As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we continue to develop programmes that respond to emerging needs and support communities across North-East Wales.
Whether you’re looking to take part, collaborate, or support our work, we’d love to hear from you.
Dancing with Dinosaurs
Making a big ROAR to Wrexham we will be partnering with 'Jurassic Live' to create an exciting performance piece to be showcased at the leading event this summer 'ROCK THE PARK'. Families based in Wrexham will get the incredible opportunity to have photographs in a fun-filled action packed session with Jurassic Live's life sized animatronic dinosaurs, as well as having an intriguing educational session with National Museum Wales to learn all about the prehistoric mammals and their lifestyle! After having these workshops the group will work with our awesome Eleni practitioners week by week to devise a creative choreographic piece set to be danced onstage next to the dinosaurs! It's going to totally ROCK!
Curiad/Pulse
This project is all about vibration and feeling.
Representing and telling the stories of the deaf community; Eleni will work in partnership with Stand Together & local deaf groups to create a truly beautiful and mesmerizing choreographic dance piece using the welsh landscape as their stimulus.
A musician will exclusively work with the group to compose a piece of music to accompany a final dance on film, this will be shared with the wider public. Let's feel and experience life through another.
Mudo/Migrate
A celebration and congregation!
Eleni will partner up with community dance individuals who are experts in Reggaeton, African, Portuguese, Argentine tango and Indian dance! They will be invited to become teaching mentees and learn how to confidently lead and structure their own dance classes. The mentee will be responsible for ensuring authenticity of style whilst the Eleni dance practitioner will be responsible for supporting & nurturing teaching skills.
A final piece of choreography will be wonderfully and boldly co-created & directed for key external performance events in and across the North of Wales and further afield. Watch this space, amazement awaits!
