We’re excited to offer three free dance classes for adults on Saturday 7th March at YMCA Cornwall.
It’s not just us! We’re joining up with a range of teachers to provide a full day of movement and dance from ballet to flamenco and tap to tai chi.
For other classes check out the YMCA Cornwall Website and book direct. Be quick as places are limited.
Ballet for Every Body
Free / Booking required
10:00-10:45 am
A ballet-based exercise class suitable for all and requiring no previous ballet experience. Light impact exercises are set to uplifting classical music and focus on posture, stability, coordination and confidence in movement.
The class progresses through a full-body warm up to strength and balance exercises and finishes with a short group dance pattern for a social and fun introduction to ballet.
This class will help you connect brain with body, activating and supporting balance and coordination. A short jumping section is included to support heart health and bone density.
Suitable for: All adults; the class includes some balancing and small jumps
Equipment and clothing needed: Dress in something comfortable (e.g. t-shirt and leggings) that allows you to move freely but that won’t trip you up. Wear socks.
Chair Based Dance

12:00-12:30 pm
A seated movement class for all those looking for an uplifting way to extend through the body, release tension and reconnect to movement. Exercises are set to uplifting music and are designed to give you a physical and mental treat.
Whether you have limited mobility or are looking for something to use as a mid-workday reset at your desk, this snack-sized ‘dance for all’ class provides gentle and progressive moves to activate circulation, support joint mobility and improve the body-mind connection.
Suitable for: Adults of all ages and abilities
Equipment and clothing needed: Dress in something comfortable for sitting and that allows you to move freely. Wear shoes or socks as you wish.
FeelGood Dance
