WEEKLY UPDATE 1 NOVEMBER 2026

Hi Everybody

Thanks for coming to classes this week – it was bit quiet all round – I definitely blame half term and clock changes!  But still fabulous none the less!

Here’s your updates:

DANCING IN LINE – Tuesday Goodman’s
Thank you for coming along.  No brand new dances – but I have a couple lined up for you that we did Friday – see below if you want a sneaky peak!  I still have a couple of requests left over from last week that we didn’t manage to fit in, so I’ll do those this week – but still room for more requests if you want to send them over.
We need to talk Christmas dates soon and I need to check with James & Sue and ask if we can have class on the 22nd – I will let you all know as soon as I can.

MODERN LINE – Friday
Thank you for coming this week – I sent over the playlists yesterday on the Whatsapp group.  If you missed class – we did two new dances:
LET’S GO DANCING TONIGHT
BABY DOLL DUO

Click the names for the step sheet/videos.
Both went down pretty well – although I thought Let’s Go Dancing was FAR too easy for you!

We also need to talk Christmas dates.  Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are BOTH on a Friday – how DARE they?!  So your last class before Christmas will be the 18th.  Christmas hats, sherry and mince pies are coming!!

YOGA – Tuesday
We did a chair based class this week – which wasn’t sitting down on one either!  Chair pose is a compound, full-body yoga posture that works multiple muscle groups – including arms, upper back, core as well as quads (thighs) so – if you were aching a bit the following day – that’ll be why! 

If you would like to give the class a go – we have spaces!  My yoga class is a blend of the traditional elements – such as the breath and asanas with modern fitness focused yoga – and are aimed at those who want to build strength, improve focus and flexibility and maintain functional movement. 

If you’ve ever wondered what my classes are like – well – CLICK HERE – this snippet is very similar to the kind of stuff I teach – except I generally wear a top.

See here for details of the class: dancegeneration.co.uk/yoga

The FITNESS TRIANGLE recommends that we do balance, stability and flexibility exercises in addition to cardio and strength training.  Power Yoga does two of three for you in one class!  And dancing does the rest!

DANCE FITNESS – Monday / Wednesday / Thursday
Thanks for coming to classes this week.  PLAYLISTS were posted on the WHATSAPP GROUP. Please send over your requests for this week – and maybe another new one?  Who knows – as always, you’ll have to come to class to find out.

And we too also need to talk Christmas dates.  Do you want a class on the 23rd December?  That’s the Wednesday.  I am happy to run class that evening if enough people want one – a minimum of ten and I will ask for advance payment. Please let me know.  
There will be no classes the following week – so the next class after that will be January 4th 2027!   

BONE BROTH
Just wanted to say thanks for the feedback on the bone broth recommendation – lots of you have tried it and loved it!  If you haven’t tried it yet – this is a really delicious way to get some extra good quality protein and collagen into your diet – which both help to support the immune system the skin, hair and joints.

You can buy the instant sachets from most supermarkets or even on Amazon and the reason they are so good – apart from the protein and collagen – is that they have super clean ingredients – i.e they don’t have any nasties added to them! 

That’s all for now.  If you’ve got any suggestions, questions, music or dance requests or any feedback – let me know.

Thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you soon.
