Since 2000, Lincolnshire Dance has changed the face of dance, created a new energy and proved that dancers can earn a living creating, performing and teaching dance in the county.
Testimonials
“It is clear what a fantastic impact dance can have on flexibility, wellbeing, health and general confidence but all too often people are too afraid to take the first step and join a class. This scheme will help break down barriers and enable older people to develop their dance skills while also making new friends, having fun and staying active. It is a simple idea but could have a transformational effect on an older person who is isolated and inactive.”
Lincolnshire Dance and the Dance4Life programme welcomed everyone to celebrate Christmas in Holbeach with a little ceilidh dancing! Last week, 30 local people joined the traditional folk band, ‘The Waggonload of Monkeys’ at the WI for a Christmas celebration with a twist!
Gary Cicinskas, the coordinator for Dance4Life said: “I think it was a fantastic way for the community to start celebrating Christmas. It brings everyone together for great music and dance. I had a brilliant evening and I am really looking forward to the next dance in February.”
Ceilidhs have proven very successful over the summer after it was found that were very few dance opportunities for adults in Holbeach and the surrounding villages. The dances now take place once a month as part of the LD’S Dance4Life programme and have continued to attract the general public who want a taster of something new or to try and improve their fitness.
The Dance4Life programme aims to improve the health and wellbeing of adults through quality dance opportunities regardless of age or level of ability TheDance4Life programme, is funded by the ‘Health and Wellbeing Fund’, is in partnership between Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire NHS and gives local focus to the government’s Change4Life initiative.
The dances take place on the first Monday of every month at the WI Hall on Park Street. The celidih begins at 7pm and finishes at 9.30pm. Refreshments are also included in the admission price. (Tickets cost £3.50 per adult and £2.50 for concessions. Under 16’s are welcome for free when they attend with an adult.)
