Get to know us

We are a vibrant new non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering sustainable physical and mental well-being for us through the transformative power of dancing movements.

Our mission goes beyond movement — we aim to enrich our lifestyles, inspire joy, and support dance professionals through innovative collaborations that nurture creativity and inclusivity while respecting tradition.

At the heart of DancingLoving lies the belief in soft power: the ability to create meaningful impact through connection, culture, and inspiration.

Our mission

At DancingLoving, we collaborate within an ecosystem dedicated to our holistic health — spanning physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Our mission focuses on three key areas: delivering programs that uplift us, supporting professionals and artists to co-create innovative projects, and partnering with sports clubs, studios, and others to enhance needs-driven programs. We also provide corporate solutions to expand the impact of holistic health.

Rooted in tradition, we foster creativity and drive innovation.

Our vision

We celebrate dance as a path to well-being and joy, helping us unite our outer confidence with inner grace. Through the soft power of community, we create vibrant spaces that empower ourselves to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally, while building connections that last.

Join us in this journey of empowerment, well-being, and connection. Together, we can create a positive impact and celebrate the transformative power of dance and collaboration. Let’s grow, inspire, and make a difference!

Our community

To ensure accessibility, we don’t charge membership fees. This allows us to focus on meeting the needs of our members while maximizing their energy, joy, and inspiration.

Additionally, we offer a carefully curated and tested collection of dance apparel and accessories, emphasizing affordable quality, eco-consciousness, and effortless convenience. Proceeds from these collections help fund our operations and reduce reliance on external support.

Our offerings

We design events, retreats, and hybrid workshops that blend education, connection, and inspiration with clear creative and innovative touch, catering to the diverse needs of women. Whether through reconnecting with oneself, finding joy in movement, or building a strong sense of community, these experiences are crafted to inspire and uplift.

For organisations, we offer bespoke corporate solutions that integrate physical and mental well-being into workplace culture. For individuals, our intimate retreats and workshops promote self-discovery, renewal, and meaningful connections. For partners, artists and professionals, we design innovative and collaborative projects to tap into undiscovered opportunities & unused capacities and enhance shared value.

The Founders

We are driven by the vision of a nurturing community where we can explore their full potential, not just through dance, but through every aspect of their lives. Our mission is to build a space where we can come together to support, inspire, and uplift each other — one movement at a time. With every step, we aim to help each other rediscover joy, confidence, and holistic well-being in a way that feels authentic and lasting.
