🌟Saturday Spotlight: Line Dancing🌟

➡Every Saturday, we share a different blog post from our website, focusing on a specific style of dance. This Saturday, we are all about Line Dancing, the spirited and communal dance style we are learning this month!💃✨

➡ Line dancing as we know it was first popularised in 1950s America, but its roots stretch much further back. In fact, they stretch all the way to 1800s European folk dances 💃🕺

➡ Why is Line Dancing so good for you? As mentioned, this is a communal dance style, yet it’s unique in that it doesn’t require a partner. This makes it wonderfully accessible for individuals who may feel isolated. Everyone is included, and the synchronised movements create a strong sense of connection. 💖

We might be a little late to the “It’s Kinda Chic” trend… but we’ve arrived, and we’ve brought our own take. 🪩✨

Because at Xpress-Yourself Dance, we think it’s kinda chic to volunteer, dance side by side with people from different classes, be silly, stay curious, support healthy ageing , and, of course, dance like no one is watching at our Daylight Discos.

So we want to know…

What do YOU think is kinda chic about Xpress-Yourself Dance? 👇

Finish the sentence in the comments:

“It’s kinda chic that…”

We’ll go first. 💃

🌟Saturday Spotlight: The Waltz! 🌟

➡Every Saturday, we share a different blog post from our website, focussing on a specific style of dance. This week we are diving into the enchanting world of the waltz! Visit the following link to learn more about this graceful dance style: https://xpress-yourself.co.uk/5-benefits-of-waltz/ 💃🏽🌟

➡The waltz is a smooth dance style incorporating a lilting action commonly known as a rise and fall. Other characteristics of a waltz include box steps, slides and change steps. 👣

➡ Your calf muscles are given a good workout during the waltz, due to the rise and fall of the dance. Strong calf muscles support your knees and ankles thus reducing the risk of injury. However, this is not the only health benefit of the waltz. Read the blog to find out more: https://xpress-yourself.co.uk/5-benefits-of-waltz/
