OVER 55S DANCE CLASSES

Our fun and friendly classes are suitable for all ages and abilities, whether you are a total beginner or an ex-pro! Come and get energised with Moving Together through a variety of dance styles, routines and activities.

We have been running over 55s dance fitness classes since 2012 when we started our first session at Curve Theatre in Leicester. We now host a variety of extremely popular classes around, delivered by our expert team, with hundreds of enthusiastic participants. These are hosted at a variety of locations in Leicestershire and further afield.

Details of all of our current classes, times and locations can be found below. We have reduced our offer currently due to Covid-19 restrictions, but are hoping to continue to phase back our classes over time. Our Covid-19 procedures are also included below.

Please visit our Book Online page to book your slot onto one of our weekly over 55s classes.

*PLEASE NOTE - Unfortunately due to the new Government lockdown that will be imposed from Thursday 5th November, we are currently not offering any face to face over 55s classes. We will continue to keep up to date with the Government advice and hope to return to classes as soon as possible.

COVID-19 SAFETY PROCEDURES IN CLASS

We are very aware that it has been a difficult time since March 2020, and though we are very excited to return to face-to-face classes it is important to acknowledge the new procedures we have put in place to ensure your safety within classes:

ARRIVE 10 MINUTES EARLY
Participants will be required to arrive 10 minutes before the class starts and will be invited into the space by the leader.
FACE COVERINGS
It is mandatory to wear a face covering in all communal areas, which then can be removed for the class itself.
TRACK AND TRACE
You will have the opportunity to scan the QR code to register yourself at the class for track and trace purposes.
HAND SANITISER
Hand sanitiser will be available for use throughout the duration of the session including entering and exiting the venue.
LIMITED CLASS NUMBERS
All classes will have a maximum of 10 people in, with cones in place to separate out the space. Class content will also be relatively stationary.
TOILETS
Toilet usage is limited to 1 person at a time.
CLEANING
Rooms will be sanitised between classes.

We will continue to update our procedures in line with the Government guidance. For any queries regarding our Covid-19 policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
