Catch up on all our latest news… with an MBE for our co-founder and executive director, more touring of Hidden in 2026 and new movement sessions for little ones, there’s loads of great stuff going on here at Motionhouse.

In case you missed it… last week, we shared the fantastic news that our brilliant co-founder and executive director Louise Richards has been awarded an MBE for her services to dance in the New Year Honours list published on 30 December.

Massive congratulations to Louise for this well-deserved award, which recognises her incredible contribution to the sector over the past 38 years, and all the hard work she has put in to making Motionhouse the amazing company that it is.
