Unfortunately, due to starting Uni, working and any other excuses I can make up for becoming lazy I just can't seem to find time for dancing apart from a boogie on a night out. This is a real shame as it's something I've always loved doing. I've seen various classes advertised for adults but what puts me off is that fact that you usually have to pay a subscription fee and a lump sum for a block of classes most of which I'll probably miss. So, when I found out that Dance Glasgow offer classes where you pay whenever you go I was ecstatic! On average the price for a class is around £6 but usually £4 if you are a student which is amazing. They offer an extensive range of classes, better than I've seen anywhere else and they're always held in central city centre locations. Adult classes include; Beginners and intermediate ballet Pop videos - I definitely need to check this one out as it would be so much fun learning a popular dance routine and it's such an excellent idea! Hip Hop Pussycat Dolls Workout Contemporary Dance and they even have a Glee club on a Monday night where you learn a song from Glee and the dance moves too... this class lasts for two hours and is £8 (£6). Amazing! If, like me, the thought of going to the gym in unbearably boring then grab some friends and pick a class from Dance Glasgow, you'll be getting fit and have a great time too.

Dance Glasgow is great. They have a wide variety of dance styles on offer, including some you'd…read morenever see anywhere else, they are always putting on new courses or one-off special workshops and, best of all, most of the classes only cost a fiver, which is a bargain compared to other places or going to the gym! They even have student discounts on some classes, or you can buy gift vouchers and 10-class or unlimited cards. I've been coming here for years and everyone's welcome, there's always a mixture of ages, shapes and sizes so don't feel like you have to be a skelf or super-fit already to get involved. All the staff and instructors are encouraging and know what they're doing. Nobody's going to tell you off for not keeping up with the routines. Nobody's going to make you pay for anything in sweat. I can particularly recommend Karoliina's dancehall classes for ladies who know they have a bum, but aren't quite sure what to do with it on a dancefloor :-) The yoga and stretch and tone classes are also excellent. They have a venue in the west end and a newer location in Jamaica Street as well, check their website or Facebook page to see a timetable of what's on where. Both locations are in old buildings, and the west end one in particular is a bit cold in winter and roasting in the summer, but dress accordingly and you'll be fine. Get dancing!

I've been dancing with this lot for years and thought it was about time to post a review of them. First of all what is it and how does it work. Ceroc is a nation wide company that teaches dancing, to be specific a form of modern Jive, danced to a wide variety of music. The classes structure is the same at all venues - 7.30 Beginners - 8.15 to 8.30 free dancing - 8.30 - 9.15 Intermediates ( during which the beginners get a revision of the beginners class - 9.15 - 10.45 free dancing You pay your money and you can be there for the whole night. The class structure differs from traditional dance classes where you sign up for x number of week course and that is it, here you turn up when you can and during the sections of the lesson you will be taught 3 to 4 moves a section. You don't need to bring a partner, as during the class you rota partners every few mins, also unlike a lot of dance classes I've been to the ratio of men to women is very good, usually a few extra women but I have seen it where there are extra men. Ok that's the structure out the way. it's a fun friendly atmosphere, Franck the teacher is a wonder dancer and really teaches well. It's very social and in just a short time you start to get to know people. Anyone can ask anyone to dance and it is seen as quit rude to say no unless you have a reason, going to toilet, promised this dance to someone else, just danced 5 in a row and are knackered. The music varies, a lot of better chart stuff, some older tracks and some I had never heard of but ended up loving. Mainly down to the taste of the DJ. All in all it's one of the most accessible ways to learn to dance and unlike certain popular styles (cough cough Salsa) it can be danced to any music.

So, this is a pretty interesting way of exercising ey? I've ALWAYS wanted to try pole fitness,…read morebecause as easy as it looks, I know it's super difficult. I wanted to challenge myself and be able to be as strong as the super fit pole dancers I see on Instagram haha Anyway, after I saw Rebecca's review, I thought that I'd definitely try out this place! She was kind enough to link me to a Wowcher that was £12 for 4 classes! I immediately bought it and went for a month! Definitely keep an eye out for these vouchers because they're worth it if you wanna give a place a try! Anyway, the studio is relatively spacious. Depending on how many students there are on that day. Beginners usually stick together on one side and advanced students are on the other side. The main teacher, Suzy, is always there! And there's always another teacher coming in, but they change up every week. They do it in rotation and I quite like that because we get taught by different perspectives! The only thing is that there are many students so you won't be getting a one on one class with the instructors! They have to jump from beginners to intermediate to advanced the whole time so, bare in mind that you'll learn something new and practice it A LOT on your own. I've been to 4 classes already and I can tell ya, my legs are completely covered in bruises! Not as graceful as I thought I'd be but hey, no pain no gain! BUT, if you're curious, don't be shy and give it a try (that rhymed). I'm probably gonna continue pole fitness next year because I like it so much!

Ok. I have a confession to make. I love pole fitness. No, I'm not a stripper. No, I don't want to…read morebe a stripper one day. No, I don't parade around in sequins and 9 inch heels (well, sometimes, but that's unrelated). I just love pole fitness. If you've ever tried yoga and been surprised about how much confidence it gave you and how good you felt in your own skin, you'll love pole. If you've ever tried weights training and been amazed at how quickly your strength improves, you'll love pole. If you're wanting to try something a bit different but that will really tire you out and give you a great workout including focuses strength, cardio and flexibility, then I can't recommend pole enough. I bought a Wowcher offering 4 pole classes, each 90 minutes long for Twirl and Tone in October. I'd never done anything like that before. Since then I have become a total addict. After the first class I ached for a week but when the second one came round I could already do some of the moves that I'd previously found impossible. I can now spin around upside down but I still can't do a single thing in heels and, if I don't want to, I don't have to. The instructors for this class are all fantastic. They're friendly and supportive - they'll push you to try harder but never to the point where you're uncomfortable. They'll talk to you about what you want from the class and they'll make sure that you achieve that. They have loads of classes throughout the week - most are generic pole classes where everyone works on their own thing at their own pace, but they also offer classes specifically to work on one area, whether flexibility or routines. For the regular classes you get a discount for booking in blocks of four or for being a student. You can also buy unlimited classes for a month. Go try it out. You might surprise yourself.

By happy coincidence, within a few weeks of that conversation, a friend announced his intention to start running a tango class. We were immediately up for this. Queer tango is all about dancing tango the way it was originally intended - it's a very social dance where the heteronormative male/female partnership pretty much goes out the window. Everyone dances with everyone. And no-one cares if it's man/man, woman /woman or man/woman. John, who instructs the class is great. Very positive and encouraging. He demonstrates the moves before we replicate, but very much promotes the idea that we make up our own dances, reinforcing the improvised nature of tango. I love the class, it's great fun, and super value for money. Currently £30 for 4 lessons - students get a discount. Anyone who fancies it, we'll see you there :-D
