"The hour goes by so fast, you don't even realise it. I have a smile on my face the whole time. It's never boring as Simone mixes things up and it's so easy to follow even if you're not the fittest person. I look forward to it weekly. I can't believe I'm loving exercise!!" Jay

"“I wanted to get a little bit healthier without going to the gym (I don’t like gym work) and I was so glad that I had the courage to attend a trial class. We learn dance routines, the music is fantastic and all the ladies are just lovely. The energy the classes bring to me, is amazing." Pauline

"I love, love your classes! My hip pain goes away each time I’ve done your dance class. I feel so happy and energised after…driving home singing to music. And then into the next couple of days! You’ve really got something going with your dance class style. See you soon x" Learne

"I LOVED todays class! I feel like I’ve finally found an exercise I enjoy. I’ve done a thousand things to get fit over the years, all begrudgingly with a feeling of “I SHOULD” be exercising but it’s so boring and everything hurts. Haha!! Dancing doesn’t feel like exercise, I just had fun for an hour. I cant wait to see you in the next class!" Kasia

"I turn 60 in a couple of weeks and have only just realised I’ve totally let my body go. Whether this has been due to illnesses, injuries or laziness-I can tell you I am very very grateful to have found your classes. The fitter I get the more classes I’d love to do. Thank you again for helping us to get a life back for our bodies, minds and souls" Belinda

"I’m not a dancer, I generally don’t like gym environments and I’m definitely not a trim, taut and terrific thirty-something year old! However, I AM now dancing salsa/samba (albeit at the back of the class), in a very friendly environment, with women of all ages and enjoying the 60 minutes of movement. It’s a great way to start a morning!" Prue
