Be More Dandelion CIC
Be More Dandelion offers movement-based programmes that support women who have experienced difficult or controlling relationships. Our trauma-aware sessions use gentle, creative movement to help participants reconnect with themselves, rediscover confidence, and build emotional strength. We deliver group classes, one-to-one support, and creative workshops across Essex, with a focus on self-expression and empowerment. Whether you're navigating life after abuse or seeking to rebuild trust and confidence in yourself, Be More Dandelion provides a safe, supportive space to move through challenge and grow with resilience.
Our sessions are open to women who have experienced domestic abuse or coercive control. We work with community partners, charities, and safe spaces to ensure accessible delivery across Essex. Services are delivered in-person through community classes and workshops, or online via guided movement videos and support materials. Participants do not need any dance experience - just a willingness to move at their own pace in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Referral and self-referral options are both available. Our programmes are currently offered fully funded.
Survivor Steps: A six week, fully funded programme where movement is used as a tool to rebuild confidence, ease anxiety, and reconnect with yourself. It’s the only trauma-informed movement therapy class of its kind in the UK, created specifically for women who are looking for a way to feel more like themselves again.
Move Through This: A gentle, low-pressure movement class for women who want a bit of space in their week to breathe, move, and feel a sense of ease in their body and mind.Move Through This is not a traditional dance class. It’s a carefully held space that uses elements of dance, mindfulness and body awareness to support nervous system regulation, emotional release and reconnection with self.
