Step Together Dance Project is a registered charity. Our charitable object is “to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of dance in all its aspects“.

On a practical level we work primarily with older people in Islington and surrounding boroughs to improve social interaction, confidence, self-esteem, physical health and mental agility by providing Ballroom, Latin and other dance sessions in which people dance with a partner.

Our sessions are open to all ages and encourage intergenerational involvement.

We continue to develop our sessions involving new people in social interaction and encouraging participation in local community activities.

We form links with local groups working with Islington residents and develop joint activities.

We run events (tea dances, performances, etc) in conjunction with community centres and other groups bringing in new people to the centres.

The sessions have a friendly and supportive atmosphere which helps create social links between residents and reduces isolation and loneliness.
