Classes for Grown ups!
Ballroom Babies
Ballroom Babies is a fun, interactive class for parents and babies from 6 weeks-walking!
Having a new bundle of joy in your life is the most precious time. It can also be a pretty tough time, socially, mentally and physically. The aim of this class is to provide you with a chance to exercise your brain (the timing and directions in all the latin combinations is a great brain workout!), a chance to get back into movement and fitness in a gentle way (crunches and burpee free zone), and a chance to meet other new parents in the area, all whilst holding your baby close so you’re not missing out on a single precious moment!
During the class the parent has their baby snuggled in close in a carrier. We dance to Latin rhythms with the instructor up the front leading the way. Parents will be taught basic steps in 4 of the Latin dances (Rumba, Cha cha, Bachata and Salsa). Babies often go to sleep, especially during the cha cha!
The benefits are wide and varying for both parents and babies. For grown ups, its fitness, learning something new, and meeting other parents. And for the babies, the development for their wee brains are immeasurable. It’s also a positive bonding experience for you together.
Every Thursday at 11am. This is a casual class, as we understand how often sleepless nights and appointments affect your ability to come every single week!
Millennial Dance Fitness
Millennial Dance Fitness is a class that any grown ups (not just parents) can join to get fit whilst reliving the music of our youth!
If you love doing the macarena and wish you could still remember all the video clips from around the turn of the millennium, this class is for you. Its a bit about fitness, but mostly about fun!
We warm up with a couple of simple repetitive dances that you’ll remember, then we will do a few targeted exercises to other classic hits involving just our own bodyweight, and sometimes some light dumbbells. Next we will learn one of the routines from a video clip you definitely watched over and over on Video Hits 25 years ago before having a stretch to cool down!
No dance experience needed, just come and join the fun! The Friday lunchtime class is also open to any new parents wearing their baby in a carrier, a few things will be adjusted for baby wearers to accommodate you in this class!
Fridays at 12pm, or Thursdays at 7pm. This is a casual class so you can come and go as you please!
