The Blair Academy

The Blair Academy, led by passionate organiser Blair, is driving a movement in London that uses hip hop dance to promote healthy and happy ageing. Focused on tackling loneliness and enhancing both physical and mental health, Blair sees hip hop as a source of joy and wellbeing for everyone.

Based in residential care homes, assisted living schemes, and day centres, The Blair Academy offers both in-person and virtual dance classes. Each session is adaptable, whether participants need chair-based exercises, standing routines, or a mix of both. They’re bringing the energy of hip hop directly to the people.

Interested in giving it a go? The Blair Academy provides a free trial session to get started. Plus, they host a Free Social Club for older adults every Saturday until 7th October at The Seddon Centre in Leyton, E10—a perfect spot to meet others and enjoy hip hop dance.

Blair is committed to making a positive impact on the community through dance, aiming to reduce anxiety, support mental health, and offer a safe space for self-expression. Believing firmly in hip hop’s ability to inspire and uplift, Blair is focused on engaging individuals from all walks of life.
