Virtual Dance Community
Cheshire Dance is Delivering Sessions Online
Whilst we have paused our face-to-face classes in schools, studios, halls and other venues, we are STILL dancing. And YOU CAN TOO!
Cheshire Dance has created a Virtual Dancing Community with online classes for everyone and pre-recorded activities for older adults, those living with disabilities, and schools.
Keep scrolling to find out more!

Text CHES001 to 70970 to donate £5 to support the freelance dance artists leading our new classes. Alternatively, click here to "donate as you feel".
Dance With Us At Home
Cheshire Dance invites you to join its virtual dancing community and to continue dancing in your own home using the platform ZOOM.
Super easy and simple to use, ZOOM not only allows you to see and follow the teacher, but also the other participants in the group too – in real time. In this way, you can stay active, stay healthy and keep social whilst dancing and moving with Cheshire Dance.
Find a class and read our terms and conditions for virtual dancing here.
Below you will find timestables for existing Cheshire Dance classes (for existing participants) and new open class(es), which are open to anyone.

Staying Safe Whilst Dancing at Home
Cheshire Dance insurance does not cover you for accidents in your own home. Dancing in your own home means that YOU are responsible for your own Health and Safety and you are NOT covered by Cheshire Dance insurance. With this in mind, you must read - and adhere to - the Cheshire Dance Online Classes Health and Safety Guide before taking part in any session or dance activity.
Additional Terms and Conditions apply to online classes with children and young people. Please go through the T's & C's and work with us to ensure your child remains safe.
Using ZOOM
ZOOM really is very simple to use. Your dance leader will provide instructions on how to set up and use ZOOM so that you can join your dance class. They can also be found here. What's important is that you don’t let the technicalities of operating ZOOM put you off – we will talk you through it and support you to get up and running.
