Vision Impaired Dance Classes

The Vision Impaired Dance classes are a fun and social way to improve your fitness and posture, exercise your body and mind, and enjoy great music in a supportive environment.

Dancers take cues through a physical connection, with the leader using it to communicate with the follower and the follower using it to provide feedback.

Dancing is for everyone!

” It’s reassuring to have someone to guide you. I’m using my sense of touch, and of course, having someone to support you gives you greater confidence.” Simon

“I used to indulge in ballroom dancing as a child. I’m so glad I’ve come back to it. I’m having fun and keeping fit at the same time.” Jesscia

“Ballroom dancing is a beautiful thing to do. Not only does it provide good exercise, but you also learn effective moves. But the physical contact is lovely to have. My favourite dance is the tango. I am glad that I took up ballroom dance classes this year. Probably one of the best things I have done for myself.” Emma

“It’s empowering to teach dance to people who have never experienced it before, as music lifts the spirit and dance can be very addictive.”
