This free event offers the opportunity for families to experience a wide range of Reception activities with their children, develop their understanding of school life, and network with school and local authority staff.

Low-impact exercise class - spaces available.

Classes are held every Monday at 2pm (come along at 2.00 and we'll start moving at 2.10) at Charminster Community Hall. Cost is £5 per class on a pay-as-you-come basis, payable in cash at the start of each class.

*******************************************************

Paracise is a wonderfully uplifting exercise class, set to fabulous music, aimed at improving and maintaining flexibility, strength and balance. It's beneficial for everyone, but especially those for whom classes at the gym are too much, perhaps due to age, injury or lack of fitness.

It's a 45 minute standing class (no floor work) where everyone works at their own pace (Coralie gives lots of options).

Any questions - contact Coralie on [email protected]
