If you love listening to music then dance classes are for you.  Dancing and music go hand-in-hand, and there is a type of dance for every genre out there. Whatever tickles your earbuds when it comes to tunes, you’ll find a dance class to get you into the swing. Elvis fan? Join in at a jive. Beyoncé more your thing? Give Hip Hop a pop. Yes, even headbanging technically counts too, although you may need paracetamol and a lie down afterwards. There’s no easier way to make your body move than to put on a track that you really love, so why not choose a dance that suits your music preferences too?

If you haven’t tried dance classes for fitness then it’s maybe time to get your groove on and give it a go!
