At Greenwich Dance, we believe that dance has the power to improve mental health as well as physical fitness.
The average adult is recommended to take 150 minutes of exercise a week. Participation in regular physical activity can increase our self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety and improve our quality of life. We believe that it can also bring like-minded people together, reducing social isolation – a problem that has been exacerbated by the pandemic.
And the great thing is, physical exercise doesn’t need to be boring. We have a range of dance classes you can get involved in this autumn to improve your wellbeing.
