Fitness & Wellness Group

Line dancing is a low impact aerobic dance routine that challenges not only your coordination and flexibility, but also your memory and concentration. Dances are choreographed from all time favourite Latin, pop and a few country songs, that are full of up-beat rhythms and catchy melodies. You can join at any time and still be able to catch up. After dancing, we do floor exercise routines focusing on the abdomen and upper body, ending with a stetch and relaxation routine. All this is done to music that provides lots of energy and at the end of the workout, a calm ambience for stretching and relaxation.
