Dance classes bring mind and body together

7:10am Saturday 29th September 2012 in Oxford

A NEW dance, movement and performance class to aid agility in the over 50s has been launched at Pegasus Theatre in Oxford.

Set up by visiting artist Emma Webb of Anamorphic Theatre, the classes run on Wednesdays through September and October. Olive Higgins, 76 of Summertown, took part in the class for the first time this week.

She said: “I think if it takes off it will be great. Emma, the leader of the group has some good ideas.

“There are already classes for intellectuals and for those interested in keep fit and I was trying to find something that was a bit of a mixture.

“This is not just a dance class, it encapsulates a few things. It’s a combination of exercise and thinking and you are with like minded people.

“I hope more people come so that the group can flower.”
