I joined in 2018 as a slightly terrified 50 something, and simply fell in love with the whole concept of structured teaching where ever move was taught, in the right places, at the right time. I’d never been able to dance and was always the “Wallflower” growing up. I realised very quickly, that I actually COULD dance.
I became an Instructor in 2021 after I was “persuaded” by the Boss Lady and members of Operation Foxtrot after joining them all doing live FB challenges to raise £10.000 for “Mind” the Mental Health Charity during Lockdown.
As a young girl, I was a successful Competitive swimmer, holding a County Champion position, I always loved the Gym too and became a typical “Gym Bunny” so my interest in fitness and exercise is deep rooted.
Becoming an Instructor has given me so much. I have a whole new Family of genuine friends, people I can rely on and trust, and who rely on and trust me in return. I have way more confidence, flexibility, and strength than I ever had as a young Woman, and I’m now 60 !!
Watching Ladies, and sometimes Gents, walk through the door for the first time and recognising myself in them, knowing full well that they are so much more than they think they are, and PROVING it to them…that’s priceless. As long as my dancers leave a class feeling fabulous, knowing they have been awesome and can continue to be so, then I’ve done a good job.
As a more mature, 60 year old Instructor, I am well versed on the problems that being a Queenager can present. Joint issues, stiffness, loss of flexibility to name a few. I have many issues but have found that dancing more than helps me control most of my problems, and I can certainly more than keep up with the youngsters There are always alternative moves available within the routines, and if one doesn’t work for you, well, we change it until it does ! I have all body types, sizes, ages, and abilities in my classes, no one judges EVER. The only thing I ever ask from my dancers, is that you can laugh with us, and leave with your head held high. Let me prove that all your fears surrounding Dance and Fitness, are unfounded .
My classes are £6 each pay as you go and there’s no need to book – just turn up!
