A DANCE event will gather people who love to move, as well as those with no dance background at all, to enjoy a fun high-energy session.
Dance Your Heart Out, organised by Dazzle Dance Experience, is open to everyone.
Ceri-Ann from Dazzle Dance Experience, said: “This is a positive, community-focused event in Reading.
“It’s called Dance Your Heart Out, and it is for absolutely everyone.
“No dance background is needed — it’s just a welcoming space where people can move, let go, and feel genuinely uplifted.”
The event will include routines of: line dancing, salsa, reggaeton, dancehall, and Afrobeats to an eclectic mix of tunes guaranteed to get people on their feet.
Follow-along routines and broken-down step-by-step moves will give people a workout they won’t even realise they’ve had, say the organisers.
Ceri-Ann explained that at the heart of the event is community and wellbeing; bringing people together, supporting mental health through movement, encouraging residents to get off their screens and into the moment, boosting confidence and connection, and creating a joyful, pressure-free space to feel good.
“At our last session,” she said, “one Apple Watch even tracked 800 plus calories burned, but what meant far more were the messages from people saying they left feeling lighter, happier, and part of something special.
“Many said it felt like a mental reset after weeks of stress, anxiety, or simply feeling stuck in routine.”
The event is open to children as well as adults.
People should arrive in comfortable clothes to move in, and are encouraged, if they wish, to don cowboy hats and boots.
A bar will be available for drinks and food.
The afternoon will include time to warm up, cool down, and chat, as well as dancing.
It will take place at Revs de Cuba, 138-141 Friar Street, Reading, on Sunday, January 18, from 1.30pm until 5pm.
Tickets cost 13.17, with some free spaces available for people on a low income.
