SwingFit is a dance fitness class for the young at heart. With dance steps and
music from the Swing era, you’ll forget you’re exercising as you dance along to
the Lindy Hop, Charleston, Jive and many more. SwingFit began as a class for an
NHS ‘Arts for Wellbeing’ programme in 2010 and it quickly grew in popularity
with ladies aged 50+ due to the easy-to-follow moves with lively tunes from the
1920s to 1960s. Many of our ladies say that they come for fitness and they stay
for the friendship. Although many of our members are aged 50+, all ladies aged
18+ are welcome to SwingFit. You need to be in good health to attend but you do
not need to know how to dance as SwingFit is a dance-along class where you copy
the teacher. Just come along wearing your favourite T-shirts, leggings and
smooth-soled trainers and you’re good to go. Oh yes, and bring a bottle of
water! Take a look at the videos below to sample a SwingFit class in action;
discover why one lady calls SwingFit her ‘Happy Place’; and what makes this a
whole-body exercise class.
