Why "Movement Matters"
Movement Matters was founded by Alexis Richens from a simple belief: when we move, we feel better.
In the midst of busy schedules and everyday routines, the importance of movement can easily be overlooked. Inspired by a desire to bring more opportunities for dance-based movement to Bermuda, Alexis initially developed a program of adult dance and mobility classes, creating a space to reset the body, refocus the mind, and reconnect through movement.
Since then, Movement Matters has expanded to include a student dance program, offering children and young dancers the opportunity to develop their technique, build confidence, and grow through quality dance education.
At its heart, Movement Matters remains committed to creating a welcoming environment where every dancer matters.
