Mad 4 Dance

The main aim of New Springs is to inspire and build on self-esteem, confidence and motivation which leads on to why we have chosen to raise funds for Dorset Mind through ‘Road to Recovery’. ‘1 in 4 people have a diagnosable mental health issue at sometime during their lives with the most common being anxiety and depression,. However, there are many other illnesses, including bipolar, schizophrenia, eating disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder.’ Dorsetmind. UK.

Studies have shown that dance can decrease issues such as anxiety and boost our mood. It allows us to simplify our thoughts and focus on 'the now' with our bodies and movement instead of the stresses in life! From our own personal experiences we want to show people there is a road to recovery, no matter how hard it can be; and what a better way to get there than through dancing!
