Step into Social
Free social dance classes for adults living with mental health challenges
Move to the music. Connect to the moment.
Step into Social is our flagship social dance initiative, supported by Arts Council National Lottery and The Baring Foundation.
It offers a welcoming space for adults living with mental health challenges – such as anxiety, depression, PTSD or other conditions – to move to music, meet others and feel part of a vibrant community.
What to Expect
Classes: Weekly swing and blues social dance sessions
When & where: Every Wednesday (Swing) and Sunday (Blues) at East Belfast venue
Cost: Free for adults living with mental health challenges (donation-based places available for everyone else)
Support: Delivered with our mental-health partner Mindwise
Classes are beginner-friendly and pressure-free.
Whether you dance solo, with a partner, or simply sway to the rhythm, you’ll find joy and connection in every beat.
Why It Matters
Loneliness and mental health challenges can make it hard to feel connected.
Step into Social uses music, movement and community to help participants build confidence, reduce stress and form friendships that last.
