Movema is a multi-award winning, registered charity based in Liverpool and Bristol. Co-founded in 2009 by four, ethnically and socio-economically diverse females wanting to unite people through world dance. In the past 15 years we have engaged 100,000 people through accessible dance programmes in the arts, education, and health sectors.
