A chance to try something new, absolutely no experience required, suit all ages, dress as you wish, no partner required. Develop core strength, agility & coordination. Learn new dances.
Aim is to get fit and lose weight without the pain: nothing too frantic, extreme or high impact, just pure dance-based frivolity!
Traditional dances from across the world. They are easy to learn and a fun way to get fit without knowing it.
Line dancing? No, but we sometimes dance in a line!
A fitness class centred around social dancing, very aerobic, but is gentle on the body.

How well are you keeping up with your fitness and health programme during this pandemic? Join us in finding a way out of this situation together, with the aim of lifting our spirits and improving our health into the foreseeable future.
The course
Clearly, we won’t do social dancing as we normally would, so the focus of this course will be exploring our fitness beliefs and behaviours and planning our health for getting older (whatever age we are now!). We’ll still dance some of our favourites, and we will learn some new group dance steps so that we can put them together later in the year.
The challenge
How fit are you? How much exercise do you think you are achieving? The aim of this course is to work together to ensure that all of us are, by the end of June 2021, achieving at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise. There will be opportunities to set your own personal goals, or just come along for the fun of the journey.

Atmosphere is great, fun, relaxing, enjoyable, a laugh, and colleagues help each other. My problem is osteoporosis: the dance has benefitted me tremendously… I’ve enjoyed the workout so much that I have been with the group for more than a year now. (Carol)
Barn dance fitness is a fun way to keep fit. It’s a way of exercising both body and mind and provides an opportunity to socialise in a friendly group where everyone is made to feel welcome. (Anon)
