Dancing for Well-Being is ideal if you find other dance or exercise classes too strenuous or challenging. You can dance SITTING or STANDING, you can move at the level that suits your abilities and limitations, and you don’t need a partner or a good memory. Our groups are suitable for a wide range of people – from people whose health means they just need to slow up a bit to people who have heart or breathing problems, or illnesses like arthritis, Parkinson’s, dementia, or depression, and people with mobility problems who use wheelchairs or other walking aids.
Dancing for Well-Being is gentle and safe exercise; it’s great for company and friendship; it’s relaxing and uplifting, but above all it’s a lot of FUN!
More information can be found at Dancing for Well-Being.
