CHAIR BASED BOOGIE
Seated dance exercise to improve strength, balance & mobility, boosting mood, mind & general well-being.
A twist on the national Chair Based Exercise programme, taking all the exercises and mixing them up in easy-to-follow dance routines. We dance to popular music from all eras, including rock and roll, motown, disco, funk, pop and more!
Options and adaptations offered for all levels of mobility so everyone can take part at their own level.
Private sessions for care homes, assisted living facilities and supported accommodation schemes also available.
