Andrew Cuerden

Andrew Cuerden has been dancing since 1986. 27 of those years were dedicated to international competitive DanceSport, where he achieved top 24 in the world competitive Latin dance rankings and was a BBC Strictly Professional partner in 2005. He has also been a teacher, choreographer, performer and judge since retiring in 2008.

Andrew’s life has also been dedicated to exploring and practicing psycho-somatics, metaphysics as well as yoga, meditation.

Since his own health crisis in 2016 and consequential healing journey, he has dedicated himself to understanding the fundamental mechanics of life and begun to see the amazing correlations with dance.

Hence he has created his own therapeutic dance and life coaching modality called “Metaphysical Dance.” - A unique and integrative way of exploring the subtle yet profound energetic principles of life through the metaphor and practice of dance, in his case Ballroom & Latin dancing, as the primary vehicle.

Andrew is also co-creator of Soulhub Ltd and Soulwalks. He holds space that is safe, inspirational and creative for individuals, couples or groups to explore, express and develop their uniqueness with empowered confidence.
