Artsreach, in partnership with Pavilion Dance South West, is launching a weekly dance class this autumn, specially designed for people over 60 living in North Dorset. Held at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton, the 12-week course begins on Thursday 25th September and runs through to 11th December.
Led by a teacher trained to support older participants, the sessions focus on low-impact movement – no dance experience is needed. Alongside gentle exercise, the classes offer a chance to meet others and enjoy refreshments afterwards.
‘As the winter months approach, we all tend to spend more time indoors – and for older people this may mean greater feelings of loneliness and isolation,’ said Yvonne Gallimore, Assistant Director of Artsreach. ‘We are very grateful to the Britford Bridge Trust and Dorset Community Foundation for enabling us to launch these classes in North Dorset.’
Each class costs £6, and anyone over 60 is welcome. Those needing extra help are encouraged to bring a carer.
Whether you’re looking to improve fitness, lift your mood or just have fun in good company, this new class offers a welcoming way to stay active.
To book, contact The Exchange on 01258 475137 or email [email protected].
