Dance Yourself Happy - exercise in disguise
Last night Dance Yourself Happy resumed. What a great turnout of locals for the 80s special. We hope you had fun and you're not too sore today. Thank you to our music guru Mari for her hard work putting the play list together. Thank you to Ange for bringing glow sticks to share,. It was awesome to see so many of you sporting neon, lycra & legwarmers 😃 (and spiffy DYH shirts of course). Thanks all for coming! Next week we'll do the usual multi-decade-inclusive Dance Yourself Happy session.
