My Story
Dance Yourself Fit is my new venture, I have 30 years of fitness training experience and qualifications in dance and fitness. I run my own classes in the local community to offer a combination of fitness and dance for people of all ages. My goal is to improve your health and create a friendly atmosphere where friendships can be formed. I believe that dance is the perfect way to make exercise enjoyable and accessible to everyone.
I am a member of the Charted Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity, CIMSPA.
What is Dance Yourself Fit?
Dance:
The dance class is designed to be relaxing and fun with a diverse range of dance styles utilising authentic music to create a session that will appeal to everyone. It's not about perfecting the steps, it's about embracing the joy of movement. Enjoy dancing alongside your fellow classmates, encourage each other and share in the excitement of learning something new.
Each class starts with a warm up and ends with a stretch.
We’ll take a journey through decades and cultures, grooving to the beats of the world! From the 1920s Charleston's quick steps to 1950s Rock 'n' Roll, 70/80’s Disco, and 2000s Latin Dance's fiery rhythms, we'll explore diverse styles. We’ll also embrace present-day genres e.g Bollywood and Country. Get ready for a full-body workout that blends cardio, flexibility, and coordination. Let's dance through time and around the globe!
Lower Intensity Dance:
This dance fitness session is tailored for individuals who enjoy dancing and seek to maintain or develop their fitness levels, yet prefer a more relaxed pace and lower intensity workout.
Every session commences with a gentle warm-up routine to prepare the body and concludes with a soothing stretch to enhance flexibility and promote relaxation.
If you have any joint or health issues, this is the class for you.
Dance & Tone:
Improve everyday functional fitness. These classes help upper and lower body strengthening, control and balance (fall prevention). The exercise plan focuses on an emphasis on posture, with easy to follow moves to improve and maintain mobility and flexibility.
Each class incorporates dance inspired toning exercises with resistance loop bands which help to strengthen and tone all over. Followed by floor work which targets the core and major lower body muscles. We end each session with a cool down stretch.
