Dance On

Do you want to be more active, but aren’t sure how to get started?
Run by darts, Dance On is a great way for adults over 50 to get moving, keep fit and feel healthy in Doncaster. Whatever your ability, you can take part in a way that suits you, whether that’s seated, standing or a mix of the two. It’s not about learning traditional steps or putting together complicated routines. It’s about the simple joy of moving your body to great music in a safe, supportive space. There’s no judgement, and everyone’s included.

Unlike many dance classes that focus on learning a specific style (like Zumba or line dancing), our Dance On sessions have been specially designed to be accessible, person-centred and inclusive. We blend a wide range of music and dance styles to ensure the sessions have something for everyone. In a Dance On session, you might find yourself dancing to anything from musicals to Motown, with some disco, belly dancing or contemporary dance in between!
