Networking groups near Swindon, P8

Vibrant dance classes with a warm social afterwards to mingle! ✨ . Dance is singularly more effective at improving symptoms of depression and anxiety than antidepressants, CBT, other forms of exercise like yoga (renowned for mind-body benefits) and even therapy! Dancing regularly is effectively a holistic health insurance policy for your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing 🥰✨ . We combine the somatic therapy of dance with the second silver bullet for health: community. No more rushed conversations as fellow students are leaving - we follow our classes with a warm social so that you can really meet the wonderful souls you dance with and build a genuine community 🌷✨ . We kick off our brand new group with our *Bachata Heels* class (event details to come!), where we nurture your feminine energy, projecting your softness in an elegant yet empowered way. Learn to dance in heels and tap in to the goddess inside ✨ . The class will be followed by a social somewhere nearby, to get a drink after the class, or a bite to eat while you connect with other like-minded souls 🌿 . In future, we’ll aim to add more dance styles including Reggaeton, Salsa, Commercial and Contemporary ☺️ but this group is to nurture the dance scene in Stroud, so join us to shape what dance styles YOU’d like to see in future!

Swindon IVC are a group of friends from all walks of life who enjoy socialising. Members are individuals or couples with a mix of ages, generally 40 upwards. All are welcome. If we want to go to a film, or for a day or meal out, we invite the others so we can enjoy events together. We are book worms, theatre addicts, walkers, cyclists, and lots more. Although there is a committee in the background, events are organised by members for members. We have a regular pub night twice per month and we would encourage prospective members to come along and meet us in this informal setting. Would you like to meet people and try new things? Fancy going to the Cinema but have no-one to go with? Like eating out with friends? Then you need us! If you attend some events and then decide to become a full member, subscription is £12 per annum. There is an option for an initial 3 months membership at a cost of £3. Please note that for us to administer this we ask for the following: your full name, a contactable email address and some form of photo ID (and the subscription!) The subscription covers club running costs including Meetup fees. We produce annual accounts for members to show how our funds are spent. Swindon IVC is a non profit club and the subscription rate is reviewed annually at an AGM. Swindon IVC is a member of the AIVC network of national clubs, first started in this country about 70 years ago by a group of ex-graduates, then known as the Inter-Varsity Club. We have been an active club in Swindon for more than 40 years. We look forward to welcoming you to our club and seeing you soon at one of our events.
