'With good music and a good dance, you enhance your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental well-being'

Today is World Mental Health Day and we want to recognise how beneficial dance can be for your mental health and well-being.

Research suggests that just one single dance class can reduce stress, anxiety and depression along with boosting energy levels and improving physical fitness.

Now more than ever we need to protect our mental health and nurture our well- being and we are eager to support everyone on their personal dance journey.

Visit mdi.org.uk for a list of our open classes and let's get dancing.

Entertainment events around the world have been devastated, from major festivals, tours and landmark theatres, to grassroots venues and business events. Without major immediate support from national governments, the entire supply chain is at risk of collapse.

@wemakeeventsofficial is an international movement to highlight that the live events sector urgently needs support from local governments to survive the Covid-19 crisis.

#WeMakeEvents is also the champion for all the people in the events industry, creating awareness and understanding of their threats and issues. As part of this, #WeMakeEvents raises money to give immediate support for the individuals, families and our industry charities.

Across the globe from 8pm local time, thousands of venues and places of work will #LightItInRed alongside unique shafts of light, projections, art installations and outreach to government officials and media to raise awareness and drive change.

*UPDATE* Liverpool Council have decided to postpone this event to keep us all as safe as possible. The event will return as soon as we are able.* Join us this Sunday for a day of socially-distanced outdoor classes at the @museumofliverpool to celebrate the joy of dance!

From jazz and tap to contemporary and Indian classical dance, the programme also sees MDI’s own 50 Moves & Men! Dancing! meeting in a combined class!

Beginners and professionals alike will love these fun and inclusive classes. Visit the #linkinbio to book. Limited places available.

We are delighted to be producing this event with the support of @lpoolcitycouncil and #NationalMuseumsLiverpool as part of the #liverpoolwithoutwalls programme.
