Why learn to dance?
According to the Open Access Government website, the benefits of dancing are huge. Regular dancing is great for losing weight, maintaining strong bones, improving posture and muscle strength, increasing balance and co-ordination, and also for beating stress. There’s also evidence that regular dancing can improve both heart health and mental health.
There’s never been a better time to learn to dance. Our beginner’s courses always fill up fast and numbers are strictly limited, so please contact us as soon as possible to book your place.
