About Malookoo

Malookoo provides dance fitness classes for people with learning disabilities and anyone that enjoys dancing in the Surrey and south London area. If you feel you need some support at a session, no problem bring someone with you, who will also join in the experience. You don’t need to know how to dance, all our routines are easy when you know them!

Malookoo also provides bespoke training packages, written specifically for the skills you are looking for to enhance yourself and/or you team – available training includes Hate Crime Awareness, Safeguarding, Disability Awareness, Communication, Positive Personal Care and more.. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Our Vision and Approach

Fitness:

Smile and be free! We believe in opportunities and making the most out of life. In an inclusive environment, you can be..well..you. Take dance for example – everyone can dance, whether you have rhythm or not, you move every part of your body or just your head. At Malookoo as long as you’re smiling, having fun, moving and being a part of the session, you will come out feeling alive and inspired.

Training:

We believe, you can never stop learning and it is always important to remind yourself of information, even if you have done it for years. Sometimes we forget things, important things. We provide interactive training packages. No more death by power point. All our training stimulates your thinking and gets you involved. You are never put on the spot or singled out but you can’t fall asleep at the back of the room either!
