Empowerment Through Dance: Finding Confidence, Joy, and Expression

At HerMove, we believe dance is one of the most powerful forms of movement, offering a unique path to confidence and self-worth. Our newest partner, The Sussex Dance Company, lives this belief every day. Founder Selena Welling and her team have created more than a school; they've built a safe, creative home where women and girls are encouraged to be present, express themselves, and grow stronger, both mentally and physically.

At The Sussex Dance Company, we believe dance is more than just steps and choreography it’s a way to express, connect, and empower.

Whether you’re discovering dance for the first time or returning to it after years away, our message is simple: you don’t need to be perfect you just need to move. Dance should be joyful, freeing, and without pressure. We want every dancer to feel the magic of movement, to reconnect with their body, and to rediscover the confidence that comes from expressing themselves.

We see every class as a space where women and girls can move freely, build strength, and reconnect with themselves mind, body, and soul.

A Space to Feel at Home

Founded on the belief that dance should be for everyone, The Sussex Dance Company has become a creative home for dancers of all ages and abilities.

Founder Selena Welling believes passionately in creating a home and safe space for every student to flourish a welcoming environment where dancers can grow in confidence, creativity, and self-belief.

It’s a space filled with warmth, laughter, and encouragement where there’s no expectation of perfection, only expression. Whether you’re stepping into the studio for the very first time or returning after time away, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

We are passionate about helping dancers rediscover their love of movement, one step at a time. Every class is designed to inspire confidence and creativity a reminder that you don’t have to be flawless to feel powerful.

Empowerment Through Movement

At its core, dance is about more than physical ability. It’s about confidence, self-belief, and empowerment. Through contemporary, lyrical, jazz, Acrodance, and creative dance, our dancers learn to express emotion, build resilience, and celebrate who they are. We see young girls and women grow stronger not just in their technique, but in their sense of self.

Dance teaches life lessons that extend far beyond the studio: how to take up space, trust yourself, and embrace your individuality. Every movement becomes a statement of strength and self-worth.

Expression, Connection, and Creativity

When words fall short, movement speaks. Dance is a universal language one that allows us to share our stories, emotions, and dreams without needing to say a thing.

At The Sussex Dance Company, we use movement as a form of storytelling. Through choreography, improvisation, and collaboration, dancers learn to express their emotions in ways that are freeing and deeply personal.

It’s in these moments when creativity flows and connection happens that the true power of dance shines through. It’s not about getting every move right; it’s about feeling every move fully.

More Than a Dance School A Family

What makes The Sussex Dance Company truly special is the sense of belonging that fills every studio. We celebrate every small victory, every brave attempt, every spark of creativity. Because at the end of the day, dance isn’t about being perfect it’s about being present.

Through dance, we help each person who walks through our doors fall back in love with movement and with themselves.

Warmest,

Selena Welling
