That’s when I discovered dance fitness. Moving to music not only supports my coordination and recovery, but also lifts my mood and gives me back a sense of freedom. Dance fitness is for everyone—whether you’re recovering, keeping fit, or just wanting to have fun.

I attached a couple of flyers below so you can find a class if you are interested.

🌸 Now’s the time to get prepared:
✅ Start antihistamines or nasal sprays early
✅ Check pollen forecasts and stay indoors on high-pollen days
✅ Keep pets out of bedrooms
✅ Ventilate, clean mould, and wash bedding regularly
While there’s no cure, symptoms can be managed.
