Hi All,
I run a FitSteps class at St Mary’s Church Ash Vale on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm.
As part of Angela Rippon’s Let’s Dance campaign to promote the benefits of dance on physical and mental health, I am offering a free class on Tuesday 4th March 2025.
FitSteps is a fitness class based on Ballroom and Latin dances. No partner or dance experience required, just turn up and have fun!
Please let me know if you would like to join in as numbers are limited.
