About Ellen

Ellen’s journey has been deeply intertwined with the art of movement. Introduced to Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms at a tender age, she found refuge and comfort in the dance. Her path has been rich and diverse, embracing styles from contemporary to partner dances. Throughout her late teens and twenties, Ellen travelled the UK competing, ultimately achieving the esteemed title of 2x World Modern Jive Champion and earning numerous Open awards. As part of a commercial crew, she regularly performed and enjoyed her time teaching and choregraphing  contemporary routines as a resident teacher at Streetenvy Studios in Bristol. 

Ellen’s journey took a transformative turn when she delved into somatic dance forms during her time studying Dance Science and Somatics at university, unlocking the profound benefits of unrestricted movement. Now, through her company For Movement Sake, she facilitates workshops that invite dancers to explore, play, and flow freely. Her aim is to create a safe haven where everyone can shed inhibitions to discover newfound freedom and creativity.

Together they’re combining their passions to bring you a day of relaxation, creativity and movement.
