Dancing is now being hailed as one of the best ways for oldies to exercise…. Here’s a quote from Age UK:

“Of all the performing arts, dance is the one that has emerged as the most therapeutic when it comes to staving off the mental and physical ravages of old age.

Luckily, it is also the simplest… and the cheapest. All you need is a clear space, some inspirational music and the ability to move around to it.

Even better than dancing in the privacy of your own home, however, is finding a local dance class to attend, where you could be introduced to different steps and styles, as well as making new friends.”

This group covers basic steps and some simple dances. Fine if you haven't line danced before, we take it slow and easy.

It is a gentle, slow and easy approach to line dancing, anyone can come and enjoy; no waiting list. 

Come and have go, sit down when you need. It helps to loosen your joints and get the blood flowing around those weak bits!! 

Enjoy great tunes and have fun; great for your mental health too! 

Really anyone can do it!!!  

Please note: With all exercise groups, the u3a expects those participating to have regard to any physical limitations they may have. We don’t mind if you need to sit out at times.
