Dance Fitness for mind & body

Strictly Workout

Inspired by the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, Strictly Workout builds on the foundations of FitSteps — originally created by ex‑professional dancers Ian Waite and Natalie Lowe. Each month we focus on one Latin and one Ballroom dance style, alternating between them to create a fun, uplifting interval‑training workout suitable for all abilities.

After a gentle warm‑up, we break down the steps in easy, manageable sections with different ability levels so everyone can learn at their own pace. By the end of each session, you’ll be dancing two complete routines with confidence and style.

Regular attendees also receive access to video tutorials that break down the steps and dances in more detail — perfect for practising at home or brushing up before the next class.
