DANCE classes dedicated to preventing falls are set to stay in Abingdon and Banbury.

A pilot scheme called Dance to Health has finished a successful six-month trial in the towns, and will now extend classes.

Weekly sessions take place at Abingdon Health and Wellbeing Centre and Woodgreen Leisure Centre, offering older people the chance to stave off falls by staying active.

Funding from Oxfordshire Community Foundation helped to sustain the classes. To join or enquire call Karen on 07979060896.
