Do you think your dancing days are over? Well don’t give up just yet!
Dancing for Well-Being is good exercise, it’s gentle and safe, it’s great for company and friendship, it’s relaxing and uplifting, but most important of all it’s FUN!
Come and join one of our weekly Dancing for Well-Being groups in the Harrogate district – you may find just what you’re looking for.
Dancing for Well-Being is ideal if you find other dancing or exercise classes too much, for example, if you have mobility or balance problems, if you use a walking aid or a wheelchair, or if you find co-ordination or remembering moves difficult.
- You can dance SITTING or STANDING
- You can move at the level to suit your abilities and limitations
- You don’t need a partner
- You don’t need a good memory
A growing body of research is showing how dancing improves physical and emotional well-being in later years. It’s been shown to be beneficial for people with a number of conditions including arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and depression.
