Curious Motion

Adventures in dance, health & happiness

Curious Motion is a non-profit arts organisation using dance, movement, and creativity to tackle loneliness and isolation in Calderdale.

We offer projects, performances, and a regular programme of classes and workshops.

You can find us in various community venues in Elland, Rastrick and across the lower valley of Calderdale.
