About the classes

In 2013 I attended a FitSteps training course which introduced me to Latin Ballroom dance styles for the very first time. It also reunited me with my first love, dance. Having spent the past thirty-four years as a Fitness Instructor I have reached an age where every day counts, and I plan the remainder of my long teaching career to be dance-fitness focused so that I can share my joy of dance for as long as others wish to share it with me.

I am forever grateful to Damian Lo Cascio, Ian Waite, Mark Foster & Natalie Lowe for the idea to combine Latin/Ballroom dance steps into a dance fitness class. The foundations and concept I have adapted to my own style and experience to form a class I refer to as STRICTLY WORKOUT.

Mission statement: “To provide the ultimate dance-fitness class experience, sharing my passion for dance and fitness in a fun, supportive and positive environment for adults of all ages and skill levels.“

Aims: “For my participants to have fun, learn, feel inspired, challenged, successful, important, and part of a like-minded family of friends. As a result, I hope they will want to attend on a regular basis year after year and enjoy a happier, healthier, and fuller life.“

Strictly Workout

Inspired by the BBC TV show Strictly Come Dancing and originally created by two of the ex-professional dancers Ian Waite & Natalie Lowe (called FitSteps).  Strictly Workout takes FitSteps to the next level by focusing on just two dance styles per month and alternating between the two to create an interval training workout.  After a warm-up the individual steps are broken down and practised in sections (incorporating different ability options), and toward the end of the class these steps are added together to form two complete routines before a cool-down stretch.   Mastering the final routines provides an amazing sense of achievement amongst the group with the aim of resembling the fab-u-lous Strictly experience!

Video tutorials breaking down all steps and dances are also provided for regular attendees.

”I have been attending for about 2 years. Ann is an inspiration, full of energy and someone to aspire to. I wish I’d found her 20 years ago!
