A Mission of Movement
There are not many places in this day and age to go out to an adult dance club without alcohol. We noticed this and have created an exciting venue to provide such a meeting place. This is a place to build community and connections, especially for adults in their golden years. No more worrying about children or work pressure; this is your time to enjoy new friends and favorite and new pursuits. If you have always wanted to try dancing - this is your time; you have earned it.
Our purpose is to provide a place for people who love music and dancing to enjoy getting together with a community of fellow like-minded people to have fun, relax and celebrate all things music and dance, including freestyle dancing, karaoke and learning classical and modern dances as part of professionally led classes. We offer a fun, no-pressure atmosphere where beginners can quickly learn to dance, while making friends and building confidence.
There is an impression in many people's minds that, “Only young people take dance classes, and I am too old to start learning to dance now,” or “I have no time to learn to dance.” We say, “It is Never too late to learn to dance. Dancing has many similar benefits and more as when we go to the gym, such as making you healthier, feeling vibrant and young again and overall, happier. Don’t let age and time restrict you. You have Your Whole Life Ahead, spend a little time every day doing something just for you that you enjoy and will notice the difference, as you feel Transformed!”

General tips for dancing
If you are thinking of taking up dancing, suggestions include:
- See your doctor for a check-up if you have a medical condition, are overweight, are over 40 years of age or are unfit.
- Wear layers of clothing that you can take off as your body warms up.
- Do warm-up stretches or activities before you begin a dance session.
- Drink plenty of water before, during and after dancing.
- Make sure you rest between dance sessions.
- Don’t push yourself too far or too fast, especially if you are a beginner.
- Wear professionally fitted shoes appropriate to your style of dance.
- Check with your dance instructor that you are holding the correct form.
- Sit and watch new dance moves first. Learning new moves increases your risk of injury, especially if you are already tired.
- Perform regular leg-strengthening exercises.
- Move as fluidly and gracefully as you can.
Cool down after a dance session, including stretching.
