I'M NEW - WHICH CLASS IS BEST FOR ME?
LINE DANCE FOR BEGINNERS
Are you new to line dance or fitness? Have you line danced before but are looking to return after an absence? This is a really fun class that gives you a gentler workout but has lots of health benefits for both the brain and body. Learn or recap the basic steps and simple dances set to great music in fun and friendly weekly classes. You'll make new friends and be learning a social skill that you can use at social dances anywhere to boot!
LINE DANCE FOR IMPROVERS & INTERMEDIATES
This great is suitable for line dancers that have mastered a good knowledge of line dance terminology. In this class you can expect dances with various tempos and rhythms that have a wide variety of step patterns, turns, tags and restarts. This class has a faster teaching pace so previous experience of line dances at this level is essential.
FITSTEPS
There are several great options to get you started on your Strictly dance fitness journey!
FACE TO FACE CLASSES
Beginners and newcomers are always very welcome to join any regular class from the scheduled classes timetable at any time. I regularly have new people join. Things may be very new to you at first, but rest assured you will very soon pick it up after your first few classes. Practice and repetition are key to success and you are moving and exercising whilst you are learning. It will soon become familiar, and you'll gain confidence with each class!
LEARN ONLINE
Learn the basics and do full classes in the comfort of your own home at a time to suit you. Purchase access to the online tuition of the basics for both the FitSteps Original and FitSteps F.A.B programs. Choose from a 7 day single purchase plan or a monthly subscription.
DO I NEED TO BE A DANCER TO DO FITSTEPS?
No! We may be dancing, but FitSteps is a first and foremost a fitness class, no dance experience is necessary. Each routine has 4 to 5 repeating moves that I will guide you through.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
The right footwear and clothing is important in ensuring your comfort and wellbeing in classes and essential for taking part:
FITSTEPS
For FitSteps and fitness classes, specific fitness clothing like leggings, jogging bottoms with ankle cuffs and gym or yoga tops made from a moisture wicking, stretchy material is essential. Layers are best in the colder weather, you'll soon warm up! Avoid clothing with any restrictive waistbands or seams that may hinder your movements, or fitness trousers that are not close fitting around the lower legs and ankles to avoid any potential trip hazards. Ladies - The importance of a good sports bra cannot be underestimated!
Trainers are essential to take part in classes, dance trainers with a spin spot and protective cushioning to lessen impact are ideal footwear, but trainers with not too much grip would be also fine. Avoid running shoes as they are not designed for fast changes of direction and provide too much grip which may cause joint injury when turning or twisting. Check out the BLOG entry for lots of helpful information and suggestions for shoes!
LINE DANCE
For line dance, any non restrictive comfortable clothing is fine. If you are wearing trousers, ensure that they close fitting around the lower leg and are not floor length to avoid the risk of tripping. Layers are advisable, you will soon warm up! Securely fitted shoes are necessary, for your own safety slip on shoes, sling backs, flip flops, wedge heels, high heels or stilettoes are not permitted. Boots designed to be worn outdoors are not ideal for dancing - they can be too heavy and not breathable enough causing your feet to tire quickly, and probably won't have a suitable sole for dancing.
Supportive, secure practice dance shoes or dance trainers that allow you to turn or pivot easily are ideal. Check out the BLOG entry for lots of helpful information and suggestions for shoes!

ARE YOUR CLASSES SUITABLE FOR ME?
I give options throughout classes that will allow you adjust the impact and level of exercise to suit yourself and your own abilities, so you can workout at your own pace!
You will be asked to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) for assessment when booking your first class or course. This helps both you and me identify if you are ready to start an exercise program and if you have any specific requirements. Feel free to contact me to ask any questions you may have.
You should always seek advice from your G.P. before starting any new exercise activity. You should not take part in classes if:
You feel unwell, have recently been ill, are pregnant or recently given birth, are experiencing any pain, chest pain or have any bone or joint problems that could be aggravated or worsened by physical activity, or have undergone any recent abdominal surgery.
