Local classes
Movement has always helped me to feel better in myself - both mentally and physically. As part of my commitment to share my love of movement with others, I run exercise and dance classes in my local area. My aim is to make exercise fun and and to create an environment that's free from pressure, expectations or judgement. For anyone based in the Banbury area, I have a small but growing timetable of classes for all levels of fitness and experience.
Classes currently include Barre Fit, HIIT, Adult Tap, Dance Fit,
Ballet Fit, Commercial & Lyrical Dance and West End Muscial Dance.
A quick note about prices: I feel very passionately that everyone, no matter their financial situation, should have access to exercise and dance classes. If you would love to come to any of my classes but your current financial situation makes it feel impossible, please drop me an email and we can discuss options.

An intermediate class for returners, improvers and people with other dance experience. I offer a variety of options and challenges so that everyone, no matter their level, will get the most out of the lesson.
Tap dancing is all about creating rhythms, dancing to great music, moving your body and having fun, it's also great for cardio fitness, balance, strength, cognitive agility and coordination.
No need to buy tap shoes straight away. Any hard-soled shoes or trainers will be fine to start with.

BALLET FIT

@ The Windmill Centre, Deddington,
OX15 0QH
Ballet Fit is a ballet-inspired workout designed to improve posture, flexibility, balance and strength. This is a low impact class that can be skilled up or down to make it suitable for all fitness levels.
We work in the centre and on the mat, combining classical ballet moves, arms and music with carefully selected Pilates and yoga exercises for a full-body workout that will leave you feeling strong, stretched and relaxed.
You do not need prior dance experience to enjoy this class. The choreography is simple but effective, set to beautiful classical music, and designed to leave you feeling physically and mentally uplifted and rejuvenated.
ADULT COMMERCIAL & LYRICAL DANCE
Saturdays 10.05-11.20 am
@ The Windmill Centre, Deddington,
OX15 0QH
Whether you’re looking to dance for fun, work on your confidence, improve your freestyle, master trending moves, or even prepare for the stage, this class is for you.
Commercial and lyrical dance blend styles like hip hop, jazz, modern, contemporary, Latin and even ballet. Commercial is often more upbeat (think music videos and concerts), while lyrical is softer and more expressive.
The class will run like a traditional studio class:
-
Warm-up
-
Technique & strength (core, plies, kicks, travelling steps)
-
Learning a routine in the second half
This class is for anyone who loves to dance — especially if, like me, you danced when you were younger and refuse to give it up just because you’re “a grown-up” now!
This is a mixed ability class but please be aware that it is a dance class as opposed to a dance fitness class, so there will be choreography to learn each week.
