Pop Dance sessions for children

I just had to tell you about my best friend's pop dance classes for children!! They have been running for a month now and are so popular that a local school has enlisted her to run a separate class there!!

Lana O'Brien, director of Your Time to Dance, trained at the exclusive Bird College of dance and has been working as a professional dancer ever since. Her last professional gig before moving back to Gosport was dancing and singing in the hit musical We Will Rock You in Germany and Austria.

Having attended classes at the now famous Pineapple Studios and worked with some truely inspiring and creative choreographers Lana really is the dancer who can teach your children the up to date moves and routines!

She currently runs 2 classes on a Wednesday at Christchurch Hall, behind Christchurch on Stoke Road. Each session costs £4 per child.

• 5pm  -5:45 for ages 4-7
• 6-6:45 for ages 8+

Routines to all popular music from Black Eyed Peas to JLS to Justin Bieber to Lady Gaga!

Defintely a great way for them to gain confidence, enhance coordination skills, keep them fit and healthy - not to mention having FUN!!

She also runs childrens parties if you fancy something different.

Also any mum's who fancy a work out with a difference come along to her ladies only adult dance fitness class. Same venue, Monday and Wednesday's 7-8pm £4 a session. It is so much fun and you burn calories too!!! :)

Tried and tested baby group in Whitely

Hello!! I got recommended a fab baby group this week and have tried and tested it this morning in Whitely at Meadowside Leisure Centre.
Jiggywrigglers run baby groups for 0-4 years! I went to the baby group today (non movers)and it was fantastic. It starts at 10:45.

There are play mats put down for babies to lie down on and at the start toys are given out for them to play with. Once it starts there are puppets, interactive songs to sing and get your babies moving and musical instruments for them to play with. Remi is 6 months and had a great time wriggling along to the music.

It costs £2.80 per family (so if you have more than one baby it is the same price) and it includes a free cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit!! :)

I know that some people may get embarrassed about singing or are a bit nervous of going to these groups but there really is no need. I urge anyone with a young baby to give this a go.

The only downside to the one I went to today would be if you don't drive as it is in Whitely. HOWEVER - they run one on Friday's in Lee-on-Solent too so I will let you know what that is like this Friday.

Check out their website for days and times http://www.jiggywrigglers.com

Definitely a really worthwhile and enjoyable group.

Let me know what you think!!
