Joybop

Dance Facilitator & Community Event Creator I’m Tess, founder of Mumbop/Mumrave and JoyBop, creating joyful, inclusive dance fitness classes and events in Brighton & Hove and online. I’m a lifelong rave lover and a big believer in the power of music and movement to shift things. My classes blend great tunes, feel-good dance and plenty of real-life humour. No judgement and no pressure to look or dance a certain way. Just good people moving their bodies and having a brilliant time. I’m also a mum of two, which is partly how Mumbop came to life. I wanted spaces where people, especially mums, could reconnect with themselves, their bodies and each other through music, movement and laughter. Alongside my fitness work, I’m exploring the more ceremonial and healing side of dance. I’ve had powerful experiences of trance-like movement in plant medicine ceremony spaces, and I’m currently training in how to hold space in these environments
