Recognition
Move Dance Feel is a company led by women, for women. We are dedicated to promoting the health benefits of dance for women living with and beyond cancer, and our mission is to address inequality in cancer care by making dance available to all women - worldwide. Awareness of our mission is expanding outside of our community - exampled below.
Media Coverage
In 2024 we were invited to meet, and interview with, Amy Dowden (from Strictly Come Dancing) and be featured on BBC’s The One Show. Due to her own experience of cancer and passion for dancing, Amy expressed great interest in, and support for, the work of Move Dance Feel.
Awards
In 2021 our Founder, Emily Jenkins, was nominated by the women of Move Dance Feel for a National Lottery Art, Culture and Film Award. Remarkably she was selected as winner, out of 1500 nominations! And below you can listen to a short interview between Greg McKenzie from BBC London Radio, Emily and Arlene Phillips discussing the award.
Letters of support
In 2022 we were selected by 10 Downing Street as a ‘Point of Light’ - an initiative that puts a spotlight on individuals making positive change in their communities.
“I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Emily for her outstanding work...She thoroughly deserves this award and recognition as a Point of Light for the support she has provided to people during their time of need.”
We also received a letter from the Mayor of London following our involvement in their London Community Story project. The project resulted in an online exhibition (click the image below to browse) which summarises how Move Dance Feel supported women during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The work that you are doing to advocate for the importance of dance and movement to the mental health and wellbeing of Londoners is inspiring.”
