About

Our Moving Stories is a community focussed company currently based in Southall and the surrounding areas. We are a grassroots organisation made by people for people, exploring the living potential of the moving body and its ability to communicate narrative, make change and bridge across divides. We facilitate and explore movement practice across generations and are inclusive of all abilities, believing that everyone has a story to share through movement.

As well as engaging with movement vocabularies through classes and creative projects, we are keen to connect with artistic communities beyond dance and provide a platform for the sharing of disciplines inclusive of dance, music, spoken word, visual art and text.

Get in touch

We possess a breadth of expertise, delivering dance, movement and yoga classes for all ages and abilities. The focus of these can be movement for well-being, to develop new or pre-existing skills in dance, as a form of creative expression and as a way to bring people together. We are always keen to open conversations with activity leaders and residents and to adapt sessions towards the needs of the existing and emerging needs of communities
