This course is for adults living with, or recovering from a mental health condition. It is an introduction to Brazilian-style dance using simple, low-impact steps inspired by Samba Reggae, Ax, and Samba and will also include Zumba-style movements, adapted to be slow, repetitive, and easy to follow. This term you will build on your skills by learning longer dance sequences, combining elements of Funk Carioca, Pagode, and Samba. Movements remain accessible, with options to adapt intensity. The sessions encourage self-expression, rhythm, and coordination, using repeated sequences to support memory and confidence. Mindfulness is developed through staying present in movement, listening to music, and noticing how the body feels, helping improve mood and emotional wellbeing.
