About

Striking Attitudes is a professional dance theatre company making work that celebrates older dancer and highlights their unique attributes. We are an organisation run by, for and with older people. We offer creative sessions, workshops and performance opportunities to older performers, trained and untrained.

Striking Attitudes considers those over 50 to be an under-represented group without equal opportunities and we strive to change this, believing people of all ages benefit significantly from the creative physical experience and social interaction. Our work extends the quality of life and significantly contributes to the concept of positive ageing.

For the last 15 years, Striking Attitudes has done pioneering work promoting the concept of the mature body as a viable and valid one and continues to do so. Striking Attitudes’ focus is to offer creative physical exercises to support older people; in developing their skills and interests, and improve their mental health and well-being.
