Dance Fit brings gentle cardio, familiar tunes and friendly company to Riverwood. It’s a low-impact dance fitness class that turns mornings into a fun, social start to the day for older adults and busy parents seeking an energising routine. Expect simple routines, upbeat music and a welcoming atmosphere that suits beginners and those wanting a light workout.
What to Expect
You’ll be greeted with familiar classics and a warm group of participants who love to move without the pressure of high-impact exercise. The class focuses on low-impact dance moves that protect joints while boosting heart rate and mood.
Music is central to the fun — think hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s alongside all-time favourites that get feet tapping and smiles going. The instructor keeps the pace steady and encourages variations so everyone can work at their own level.
The session often feels more like a social catch-up than a workout, with emphasis on community, light cardio and simple choreography. Benefits include improved mobility, gentle strength gains and a mood lift from shared music and movement.
