Older residents in Hertfordshire are being invited to dig out their dancing shoes and join in with a free weekly dance project, called Love to Dance at ten locations across the county.

The twenty week dance sessions, which are free for over 50’s, will cover a variety of dance styles including: line, sequence and ballroom dancing. They are part of a county-wide programme that has been jointly organised by Herts Sports Partnership and Saracens Sports Foundation.

Joe Capon, Sports Project Officer from Herts Sports Partnership said: “These informal dance sessions are designed t o be and fun and are a great way to feel fantastic and become a bit more active. Our qualified dance leaders will teach various styles so people will be able to try a whole range. You don’t need any experience, just enthusiasm and some comfortable clothes to take part.”

Gordon Banks, Saracens Community Director, said: “We hope that this will be yet another successful joint project between Herts Sports Partnership and Saracen’s Sport Foundation. There are a great deal of health and wellbeing benefits from dance; it’s a form of exercise that people can take at their own pace, it’s good for your heart, bones and muscle strength and most important of all it’s a lot of fun.”
