Everyone joined in. Nearly all the children had never danced before. Their enthusiasm and energy were a delight to see. Well done. Xx

Improve your strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. I have taught exercise classes for over 50yrs. I am proud that many members have supported me throughout, all feeling and looking younger! I plan my lessons from my experience as a dance and ballet teacher to suit the abilities in the group, If exercise is something you have been encouraged to try then come along to a class and take that first step. We use the barre for balance and toning, suitable for vertigo sufferers. Pay as you go, wear comfortable clothes and footwear. A drink of choice for our 5 minute natter. Hope to see you soon. ### Monday 10am and 6.15pm x

After a busy week at “big” school it is such fun to let our hair down and spin, leap, twirl and be free! How I end my pre juvenile dance group, smiles all round. Senior students I believe are as happy as their pupils! Thank you for my precious Saturday mornings. ###

**Seated exercises via Zoom. Please contact me.** Legs, arms and core muscles can get a workout from a seated position, which can help reduce the risk of injury from a fall. Improving posture relieves back pain, flexibility and movement to music lifts our mood. I am teaching at Holy Trinity Bolton le Sands at 2.30pm tomorrow and thereafter every first Tuesday. Please come in and say hello.xx

Please send me a message if you can come and join us. This video is appropriate it’s cold and wet today! Summer! Take care. ###
