Line Dancing with Donna

What better way to keep fit than by dancing with Donna? Those of you who have tried Donna’s seated exercise at the library on Monday mornings will know she’s a brilliant, upbeat teacher and great dancer. If you’re feeling the beneficial effects of seated exercise and want to take your fitness journey up a knotch, this is perfect for you. It’s also just great fun for those who just like a good bop of an evening. Why not come along and try it out?

Places are limited, because the room is not huge, so you MUST have a ticket to attend to attend. Until funding comes through there will be a small charge for this class but we hope to make it free in a few weeks.

Entry to the activity room at the back of the library will be via the side passage, to avoid disturbing the Writers Group. Please arrive from 1850.

March’s Last Friday is a Flute and Piano Recital

March’s live music event is a chance to hear a flute and piano recital.

Sarah and Oli began performing as a Duo when in May 2023, due to illness, Sarah found herself short a pianist for an imminent recital. Oli stepped in and due to excellent sight-reading skills and knowledge of the flute repertoire, did a fabulous job. They have been performing recitals together since then, across London’s churches, libraries and care homes. This is their first recital together of 2024, exploring flute and piano music by female composers from France, Italy and the USA.

Moondance – Learn a Choreographed Dance Every Month

Looking for a fun and exciting way to stay active in 2024? Why not try our monthly choreographed dance class, led by Pilates teacher and running coach Sofia Ali?

This friendly and welcoming group class is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to dance to the latest and greatest pop songs.

The step-by-step instruction makes it easy to follow along and learn the dance at your own pace. And you don’t need any fancy dance gear – just wear comfortable clothes and trainers or soft shoes to move around in.

During the class, we’ll warm up, learn the steps in sections, and then put the whole dance together. It’s a great way to get fit, have fun, and meet new people. And with a new dance each month, you’ll never get bored!

All are welcome, regardless of age or experience level. Let’s dance our way through 2024 together!
