Saffron loves expressing herself through movement and dance. Supporting others to be creative and engaging in dance brings her joy! She believes everyone should be able to express themselves and meaningfully interact with the outside world, which is why she has studied Makaton and volunteer with Magpie Dance.
I started volunteering with Magpie Dance in 2022, and wish I had helped out sooner! The staff and dancers are incredibly welcoming, contributing to an atmosphere of fun and learning that I hope to continue to be a part of. I have also begun training to become an assistant facilitator. I am studying Psychology at university, and would recommended anyone with spare free time to consider helping out, as being a part of Magpie Dance is one of the most rewarding and positive things you can be involved in.
Annie is a freelance dance artist with a passion for inclusivity. She has been dancing since childhood and practises contemporary and ballet with Trinity Laban and Pineapple Dance. She has completed courses in intuitive dance and believes the joy of movement should be accessible to all.
Annie has worked as a caregiver and understands the importance of equal opportunities for those with disabilities. Since joining Magpie’s in 2021 she has learnt that when given the right environment, we are all capable of anything.
Annie worked part time as Magpie’s Projects Co-ordinator and continues to assist in our Saturday Youth sessions and volunteer in Wednesday Youth too.
Deb joined Magpie as a volunteer at the beginning of 2022 having found out about us on the Bromley Volunteer website.
She has recently completed a course as a FABS (Flexibility, Aerobic, Balance and Strength) Instructor with the organisation Move it or Lose it which has designed classes to deliver fun, effective and inclusive classes to older people everywhere.
Deb has always loved dance and moving to music to keep fit herself so was delighted to find out about Magpie and help bring that joy to others.
