About Us
At The Dandelion Project, we are dedicated to supporting women as they rebuild their lives after domestic abuse.
Founded by Fi Bool, a survivor herself, our mission is to provide a safe, empowering space where you can begin to heal grow and rediscover your strength.
We believe in the power of movement to create transformation. Like the dandelion, resilient, vibrant and unshakeable - you have the ability to rise even in the toughest conditions. Through our trauma-informed programmes, we guide you toward finding your confidence, rebuilding trust and embracing a brighter future.
Our approach is rooted in compassion, understanding and lived experience. We know the courage it takes to take that first step, and we are here to walk alongside you, every step of the way.
At the Dandelion Project, you’re not just joining a dance movement class, you’re becoming part of community that believe in your potential and celebrates your journey.

Hey! I’m Fi B!
Meet the Founder
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Fi Bool, the founder of The Dandelion Project. As a survivor of domestic abuse, I know how it feels to lose yourself, to question your worth, and to struggle to trust again. But I also know how powerful it is to take that first step toward healing, even when it feels impossible.
The Dandelion Project was born from my own journey of recovery, and it’s now my mission to help women like you rediscover your strength and resilience. Through movement, dance and support, I’ve seen women transform and reclaim their power- and I’m here to walk with you through that journey.
You’re not alone in this, I’ve been where you are, and I’m here to show you that healing is possible. Together, we’ll move forward, rebuild and rise stronger than ever before.
Let’s take that first step. You’re Ready.
Why Movement Matters?
Trauma affects every part of us, including our bodies. Movement is a powerful way to release what’s been holding you back, helping you feel grounded, strong and in control. You don’t need to be a dancer or have had any previous experience to join - this is about you, your journey and your healing.
CONNECTION
The ultimate form of non-verbal communication, dance allows individuals to connect with their emotions.
BODY POSITIVITY
Through dance, survivors can reclaim ownership of their bodies and experiences, cultivating a sense of empowerment and autonomy.
FEEL-GOOD FACTOR
Dance promotes the release of endorphins, which uplift mood, reduce stress and help foster a positive emotional state.
OVERCOME CHALLENGES
Learning new dance skills and routines challenges survivors to push past their comfort zones and foster a sense of accomplishment.
COMMUNITY
The supportive and inclusive environment encourages survivors to embrace vulnerability, overcome insecurities and celebrate their strengths.
CONFIDENCE
The confidence and resilience gained through dance extends beyond the studio, equipping survivors with valuable skills to go on and THRIVE!
AND SO MUCH MORE…
Survivor Steps
Introducing:
EMPOWER | HEAL | THRIVE!

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost your confidence or struggled to trust yourself and others after what you’ve been through, this programme is here to help you rebuild, step by step.
Through gentle movement, dance and mindfulness, Survivor Steps creates a safe space where you can:
Reconnect with your body in a way that feels empowering
Process difficult emotions without needing to find the words
Build resilience and rediscover your inner strength
Be part of a supportive community that truly understands
You don’t need to know how to dance or feel confident right now. All you need is the courage to take that first step- and we will be with you every step of the way.
Impact
This is the first programme of its kind in the UK, however previous studies in the USA have indicated the benefits of implementing dance as part of a recovery programme have significant benefits to the survivors’ rate of recovery and overall well-being.
What happens after the programme?

Your journey doesn’t end with Survivor Steps - it’s just the beginning. We know that healing and rebuilding your confidence take time, and that’s why we’re here to continue supporting you. Our aftercare programme is designed to help you keep growing, connecting and thriving beyond. DanceBeyond.
