Are you longing for deeper connection, expression, and soulful movement?
We invite you to join us for a unique journey into Douceur — a gentle, heart-led partner dance designed to awaken the spirit and nourish connection.
Douceur (meaning “Sweetness” in French) is not just a dance — it is an experience of presence, trust, and soulful communication.
This six-week course will introduce you to the beauty of moving with another person in a slow, boundaried, and spiritually connected way.
No partner needed. No dance experience needed.
Just a willingness to explore, breathe, and open to a new way of moving and feeling.
⸻
What to Expect:
• Gentle meditations to connect with your body and heart
• Boundaried and respectful exercises to build trust gradually
• Connection without pressure — every step is your choice
• Learning the art of Douceur: chest-led movement, musicality, micro-movements
• Space for soul expression and creativity
• Mini dance socials at the end of each class to enjoy community and connection
We (your teachers- Andrea Gregoriou & Dan Easton) are passionate dancers and facilitators, bringing this soulful art to Folkestone for the first time.

Meet Your Teachers
Andrea Gregoriou
Andrea is a passionate dancer with a soulful heart. She has been dancing Salsa for over four years, and Bachata and Kizomba for two and a half years. She leads her own Ladies Styling group, helping women build confidence, grace, and self-expression through movement. Andrea is currently undergoing intensive training in Bachata Sensual and Ballet technique with an international teacher, deepening her understanding of movement, musicality, and artistry.
This year, Andrea also began her journey into the world of Douceur, training directly in Germany and Ireland with leading instructors in the dance communities. She is dedicated to bringing the authentic spirit of Douceur — connection, softness, and soul — to a wider audience.
Dan Easton
Dan brings over 20 years of dance experience to the floor. He is the founder and lead instructor of @LatinFixUK, a vibrant Latin dance club based in Tunbridge Wells, where he teaches Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba and other partner dances with a focus on technique, connection, and community spirit.
Dan has received Douceur training through private and lessons in Germany, learning the subtleties of this soulful and connective style.
Together, Andrea and Dan are among the first to bring the art of Douceur to Folkestone and Kent. With a blend of technical skill, heartfelt connection, and a deep respect for the dance’s spirit, they are creating a safe, welcoming space for people to discover movement as a soulful, expressive journey.
