Body & Soul Sessions are dance and fitness classes set to Northern Soul tracks. They are run by the arts charity Jumped Up Theatre. Short routines are broken down into easy sections that everyone can follow.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- movement and dancing sets you up for the day – it can lift your mood,
- improve your flexibility and strength, and
- it’s a fun way to burn 500 calories without you really noticing
“This session is better than therapy…once I have done this I feel really happy, it really lifts the mood…you leave on a high.”
“This has been an absolute boon for me, I haven’t done any exercise for a while, but this is a godsend. It’s also the social contact, just seeing people and being with them.”
