The Point Eastleigh
Tori has been a member of the teaching faculty at The Point since 2006 and teaches a number of classes in Ballet and Tap. She is extremely proud of the Adult Tap programme and the many large scale stage shows that they have been invited to perform in!

Tori has been teaching Dance for Parkinson's since 2016 and has trained with People Dancing Live Well and Dance with Parkinson's and PDSW. She was an Associate Artist with the Luminelle CID Project directed by Danielle Jones and has attended remote training with David Leventhal, Dance for PD Brooklyn, NY.
The Point Eastleigh
Tori co-teaches the very popular Dance for Parkinson's class at The Point with Gabriel Galvez.
Dancers enjoy the fabulous studio and garden stage setting whilst making new friends at class.
Classes can help with fluidity of movement, flexibility, balance and everyday living.

Parkwood Leisure Salisbury
Movement and Dance for Parkinson's is facilitated by Parkinson's UK Salisbury Branch and is co-taught by Tori and Samantha Gillingham.
The class is very social and is combined with a calendar of regular meet ups and events. Dancers feel the benefit of targeted movements to upbeat music by following the Dance Science approach to class.

Steady & Strong Dance
Steady & Strong is a Hampshire County Council initiative providing Strength & Balance classes to over 65s as part of their Falls Prevention Programme. Tori was invited to add the dance and creative element to this scheme and successfully runs classes via Zoom.
Participants feel the benefit of evidence based exercises and how this can improve their health, wellbeing and confidence with everyday living.
Tori is the Dance Expert Contributor to Later Life Training for their joint project with Hampshire County Council for Steady & Strong Dance.
