Beat the winter blues - new dance classes starting soon

Tucked into too much turkey? Couldn’t resist those mouth-watering mince pies? Well here’s the perfect opportunity to repair your waistline and get the year off to an active start!

January sees the start of an exciting new dance programme for children and adults, held at Litcham’s dedicated new Dance Studio. The programme, organised by Breckland Council in partnership with Norfolk Dance and Litcham High School, offers both creative and contemporary dance classes, with an option for beginners.

 Lynda Turner, Breckland Council Executive Member for Localism, Community and Environmental Services said: “We ran taster dance sessions at the Studio last year to let residents try a number of dance forms and see which they preferred. Our courses this year have been based around attendance numbers and feedback from those who came to these sessions.  

Dance is fun and a great way of getting fit and making new friends. It’s the ideal time for New Year’s resolutions so we are expecting a good sign-up! “
