Class descriptions

There are so many benefits to be gained from joining a dance class as an adult - dance really is for all ages not just children! As well as the obvious physical benefits; improved fitness, co-ordination, balance there are also many mental health benefits.

“For most practitioners, the health benefits of dance are self-evident. Dancing increases our stamina, strength and flexibility, it helps us burn calories, it lifts our mood, allows us to interact with others socially and it often gives a very gratifying sense of achievement.” Renaud Wiser, One Dance UK Advocacy Mentee
