Maria has been facilitating weekly Biodanza sessions at Granville House in Heaton Moor since 2018. This  specialist centre is part of Supportability — an organisation providing support to children, young people and adults with disabilities across Derbyshire and East Cheshire.

These sessions offer participants a meaningful sense of connection, belonging and self-expression. Biodanza creates a safe and inclusive space where individuals who may find verbal communication challenging can express themselves through movement, music and shared experience.

Over time, the sessions have become a valued part of the centre’s activities, supporting confidence, emotional wellbeing and social interaction.
