About us
Meet Georgina & Lizzy
We met in 2010 studying at the prestigious Urdang Academy in London. Here we trained in Dance and Musical Theatre, enjoying three years of intensive training and wonderful performing opportunities. After graduating we were fortunate enough to travel the world working predominantly as dancers and keeping each other updated on our adventures! We both began to explore our interest in fitness and initially trained to teach group exercise classes. Our passion for moving our bodies continues to grow and this is how Escape with Movement began!

TOP 3 WAYS TO MOVE: JAZZ DANCE, YOGA & RUNNING
Dancing from such a young age meant a childhood filled with movement and the opportunity to turn my hobby into a career. I am incredibly fortunate to work in fitness alongside my roles in the dance and theatre industry and have spent the last 5 years gaining further qualifications and experience.
Most recently I received my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate with Bend it Like Buddha in the Algarve, Portugal. Life can bring some huge highs and some difficult lows. There are so many different ways to move our bodies and I am grateful for the joy it brings me at the good and the bad times. I hope to share this with as many people as possible and encourage everyone to find the ways they love to move. Oh, and I LOVE the sunshine!! -

TOP 3 WAYS TO MOVE: PILATES, BOXFIT & BARRE
Training professionally in dance and musical theatre from a young age meant movement and well being have always been a top priority in my life. I moved away from musical theatre and into fitness 6 years ago where I began teaching dance based group exercise classes such as barre and dance cardio as well as fitness focussed classes like boxfit (a personal fave) and lifting weights.
I more recently found a passion for pilates and reformer pilates, as the elements of control and precision link to my original love of dance! Bringing this element of precision into all my workout classes allows you to fully understand the movement in order to see improvement and build strength. Above all, I believe that movement should be incorporated into our lives because it makes us feel good, so finding something you enjoy to help your overall well-being is what you should focus on!
