Frequently asked questions

BodiBlossom is a community for women who want to make more time for themselves, build confidence, try new things and connect with like-minded women. Through classes, workshops, events, photoshoots and networking opportunities, we create safe spaces where women can connect, learn, have fun and feel supported.

BodiBlossom isn't centred around one activity—it's centred around women.Whether you're joining us for a dance class, wellbeing workshop, networking event, photoshoot or social gathering, our aim is the same: to create a welcoming space where women can connect, try new things, support one another and make time for themselves.Many women join us for one event and stay for the community.

Not at all. We offer a variety of events and workshops. Even for our dance classes, many of our members join with little or no dance experience. BodiBlossom is about confidence, connection, self-expression and having fun in a supportive environment. Dance is simply one of the ways we help women reconnect with themselves.

We host dance classes, wellbeing workshops, networking events, photoshoots, social gatherings and special events throughout the year. We're always looking for new ways to bring women together, create meaningful connections and give them opportunities to try something new. You can find all of our upcoming events listed here - www.bodiblossom.com/upcoming-events

For dance classes and workshops:Anything you feel comfortable moving in. Some women love dressing up, while others prefer leggings and a t-shirt. Heels are always optional.

At times there may be a suggested theme or dress code which will be included in the event details, but it’s always optional.For all our other events:There's no dress code - even for our networking events. We want you to feel comfortable and welcome as you are. Some events may have a suggested theme or dress code which will be included in the event details, but it’s always optional.

Absolutely. Many women come to BodiBlossom feeling nervous about attending their first event, class or workshop. Our community is warm, welcoming and supportive, and there's no expectation to be confident, outgoing or experienced. Just come as you are.

That’s okay! Lots of women do. We can arrange for someone to meet you outside and come into the class with you if you’d like. You'll always receive a warm welcome, and many friendships have started at BodiBlossom. If there’s anything we can do to make you feel more at ease, please let us know.

Due to the nature of our classes and workshops, women must be over 18 to attend. There is no upper age limit - we believe you're never too old to try something new, build confidence, express yourself and experience joy.

The best class depends on what you're looking for. If you're not sure where to begin, get in touch and we'll happily recommend a class, workshop or event that feels like a good fit for you.
