About Dance On Up

Dance On Up is open to everyone over the age of 55 and aimed at those who want to learn different dance styles. Over the autumn term Dance On Up will be led by Louise Hodgson for Dancing Through the Decades.

From the 1920s Charleston and 1930s Swing to Bob Fosse inspired moves. 1950s Rock & Roll, 60s Twist, 70s Disco, 80s classics, 00’s Bollywood and beyond – we’ll explore iconic dances, brilliant music and a whole host of dance styles.

With your experience, energy and ideas at the heart of the course, we’ll discover your strengths, favourite styles and new challenges, while having plenty of fun along the way.

And there’s a fabulous finale! Together we’ll create a brand-new piece  to share at our Dance On Christmas gathering on 11th December.
