When Karen Arthur, a budding disco queen, was at school her art teacher told her that she could study dance as a career. She thought all her Christmases had come at once! She gained performing arts BA Hons specialising in dance in the early eighties.

 

Karen Taught contemporary dance in secondary schools in London for two decades. With studying breaks in New York at ​Alvin Ailey Studios, Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance

 

She taught jazz and contemporary in Helsinki and continued to teacher dance summer school for Hong Kong exchange students with Excel throughout for a decade. In 2019 she performed with Laban centre for dance at Horniman museum for their summer festival. 


Now in her sixties dance and movement has remained a constant in Karen’s life, helping her move slowly through a debilitating mental health diagnosis in 2015 with the onset of menopause and injuries that left her unable to walk without a cane in 2016. Karen will wax loudly and lyrically about the boundless benefits of movement and not taking our bodies for granted as we age.
