Through Dance, grow Younger! for Girls who 'wanna have fun'!

Dancing and whole of body movement is one of the best exercises you can do for your brain and body.  There is plenty of recent research to support this.  Good music can help us feel younger,  and moving to the beat, be it fast, slow, rhythmic, can make exercising easy, the time flies. When it is time for our stretch and relax as the class concludes I hear participants say, 'Is it that time already?'

If you can walk at a reasonable pace you should find the level of activity suitable. You do not have to learn dances by heart, that is my job! ....  just 'follow along' style.

Keen to try something new, have you always wanted to dance or dance more, want to exercise in a friendly atmosphere, keen to get out of the house and meet new friends, would like a ladies only dance class?   Increase your fitness, strengthen your back, knees ankles and hips, strengthen for osteoperosis prevention or maintenance, energise the mind   .....  Let's get Dancing!

Please feel free to call me if you have questions or would like to know more.

I look forward to welcoming you to class,

Marie. 0411 515 802  (Yes, I am a senior!)
