We’re joining Let's Dance! and you are cordially invited to get involved. This fantastic initiative is spearheaded by Angela Rippon and will take place from 8 March 2026.
Angela’s journey on Strictly Come Dancing highlighted to her the incredible benefits of regular dancing, and now she’s on a mission to get the whole nation dancing.
Now, dance organisations, charities, health professionals, community groups and celebrities are getting together with just one objective – to get more people dancing.
We love dance, and are inviting you to join this exciting movement! We’re hosting a Joyful Dance Fitness Taster Event, sign up by emailing jessyhoodbiz@gmail.com.
Let’s Dance - Free Taster Event
Our taster event will feature 3 different styles of dance fitness class. We’d love for you to join in all sections but you’re free to pick and choose. You can also stop and rest as much as you want during each part.
Part 1 - Joyful Dance Fitness Routines
We will dance through a selection of choreographed dance fitness routines that are used in the regular Tuesday class. You’ll be talked through the moves used in each routine so that you can have a short practice and try out some different options before being guided through the full routine to music.
Part 2 - Aerobics with a dancey twist
We will work through a short aerobics style routine. You’ll be shown four aerobics moves that we will cycle through and build on throughout the session to give them a dancey feel.
Part 3 - Freestyle dance party with prompts
This part has no set choreography but you will be given some prompts and ideas of how to move to each track. You’ll be free to copy the instructor or someone else or make up you’re own moves.
Want to give it a go?
