Testimonials

I absolutely love the classes run by Nicky for the following reasons:

It’s a great way to keep fit and burn those extra calories. I find it very mentally stimulating. Nicky breaks things down into manageable sections and has so much patience and is always happy to keep going over the sections if necessary. She always has a smile and makes you feel welcome. The classes have a great social aspect too. The long termers are full of encouragement and are happy to help out when you go wrong.

I love music in general and love listening and dancing to all types of genres and styles. My only regret is that I didn’t start this 10 years ago.

I love to dance, it keeps you fit, it gets your brain working, hopefully down to your feet! 😉 It’s great to see your friends every week. Plus we have a very good teacher who makes it such fun!

Dancing keeps you fit whilst you are having such good fun it does not feel like exercise. The music is so catchy you go home singing the songs. You also meet lots of really friendly people. It is so sociable, not just an exercise class. You can go as far and as fast in progression as suits you.

I really like line dancing as it keeps me fit, improves my memory skills and its so fun. I love all the different music we dance to from old to new and everything in between!! Nicky is such a brilliant teacher, she breaks down all the dances into small chunks so it’s really easy to pick up a new dance, she is so patient no matter how many times she has to go over dance steps with us! Everyone is really friendly so if you have no one who wants to try modern line dance with you, just come on your own, I do! You get a real buzz when you have picked up a new dance

Really good fun, lots of laughs when things go wrong, enjoy the mix of styles and music old and new. Love the sense of achievement when we crack a difficult dance. Just heard ‘One Way Ticket’ on the radio, had to stop and see if I could remember the routine, which I could. Takes your mind off the day’s work and problems. I really miss it when classes are closed or on holiday.

I come to exercise my body and brain in a fun manner. I did not come to find a partner, but I found one, bonus!!!! The teacher is friendly. A lot of the fellow dancers are now firm friends. Thank you so much Nicky and family

I have attended line Dancezing for over 6 years and find it is a great way to exercise as well as meet new people. Our classes are not the ‘big Stetsons and cowboy boots’ that many assume line dancing classes to be, but rather a modern twist with all ages working well together and lessons for all levels so nobody feels out of their depth

I started line dancing about 8 months ago – really unsure what to expect as had never tried it before. It totally opened my eyes to what an enjoyable and fun time can be had attending the classes. Everybody is so sociable and it is never a problem if you do not get the steps the first time, everybody has their moments and Nicky will always help you 100%, never makes you feel uncomfortable about it and everyone has a giggle together. It is a great form of exercise and also helps with memory, learning the various dances.

Am disappointed when I am unable to attend, never thought this would be for me but I have a really great time

I love my line dancing classes and look forward to Wednesday evenings every week. The atmosphere is very relaxed, it’s a great way to make new friends and its FUN! Who cares if you go wrong now and then, it’s all part of the learning process and it gives fellow dancers a chuckle! It’s my way of keeping fit – who needs the gym when you can DANCE?

When I started line dancing over 25 years ago I had also started a diet and the dancing helped me to keep the weight off. I have met and still have some lovely friends through dancing. I absolutely love line dancing, keeps you trim, makes you use your memory and brain and socially it’s good for you. Last year I had a big operation and couldn’t dance for months, my big goal and aim was to get ft and back to dancing again – I am now dancing 3 times a week. The other point I must mention is we dance to some lovely music – very varied

I love to dance. I don’t want to have to have a partner, so line dancing seemed the best style of dance to learn. It also keeps your mind and body fit. Have been line dancing for years & returned to it after a full hip replacement and now attend Nicky’s Wednesday evening class. The music is great, we have fun, fellow dancers are lovely and our teacher is superb. Come along, have a try, you won’t regret it. One of the dances we do is called ‘Better When I’m Dancing’ and………..I am. What’s that text ‘thing’, LOL: laugh out loud? I do, every session!

I come to line dancing because it’s great exercise, physical and mental, lots of fun and I love the music

I have always loved dancing but had never done line dancing before. I really enjoy it and find it really good exercise without being too vigorous. It has also given me the opportunity to meet some lovely people. I must add that the atmosphere at our Thursday morning class is absolutely fantastic. The teacher explains and demonstrates each dance so well and shows enormous patience without making us feel under pressure. I also love the variety of dances and the music. If anybody is thinking of doing line dancing, come along and I promise that you will enjoy every minute and continue to do line dancing.

I like line dancing for so many reasons. You do not have to have a partner. You do not have to be an expert – starting at the beginning and working up is the pleasure of dancing. You will, hopefully, be enjoying the dancing so much that any mistakes will be something for you to laugh about, not cry about. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Age doesn’t matter, size doesn’t matter. The dances are fun and it gives you real pleasure to be able to dance all the way through because you have learned the routine. The music is great. The teacher is great

I love line dancing as it’s such a fun way to exercise and meet new people. Gentle or more physical, you get out what you put in. Lovely to get your exercise in an unpressurised environment where fun is as important, if not more so, than anything else.

I thought my dancing days were over until I found Dancezing! A great opportunity to express yourself, while taking exercise

I enjoy line dancing because it occupies your mind totally. It makes you work your brain to enable you to memorise routines and helps with your balance. The dances do not necessarily need to be fast to appreciate the workout, as the challenge is with your memory! I’m exhausted by the time the routine is finished and I have also had a fit of the giggles getting there. Simply fun all round

Music and dance have been in my family – my father was a brilliant musician & he won many awards but tragically died at a very early age (41). I have danced in troupes for jobs around the world. I LOVE to dance. Whenever I feel down, music helps and it expresses freedom. It makes me feel young again and above all it helps keep me fit and healthy. You also make new friends. I feel so happy to have found Nicky’s class. If you haven’t danced you should try it. It’s great and I LOVE it

It requires more oxygen to dance rather than to sit and watch tele and I am told this is good for my brain and delays the decaying process – just don’t ask me who the PM is! I think there’s a new tablet for this now but I’d rather dance, I don’t like swallowing tablets.

The concentration required to dance the ‘right’ steps for each dance transports me into a whole different world, (similar to drawing and painting but uses up more calories). You forget the washing/ironing you didn’t do, the shopping list, the back ache……….all the boring stuff that gets in the way of enjoying yourself. In fact if you do your shopping list first your darling husband/partner will do the shopping whilst you dance, then it Win, Win! I am soo………lucky!

It is a joy and very humbling to see line dancers of all abilities come together on social dance nights and linedance weekends. Some overcome huge hardships to keep up their dancing into their 90’s so we have no excuse.

You meet lovely ‘like minded’ people. I have made so many dance friends.

Learning how dancing should be done helps me with my dance paintings. It is really difficult getting the ‘weight’ right in a painting so the dancer doesn’t look as if she is falling over whilst retaining the feeling of movement

It all started with line dancing over 20 years ago when I couldn’t play tennis anymore after 3 knee ops. Now I have added ballet, flamenco, Latin and ballroom to my repertoire. I don’t profess to to excel at any of them, I just enjoy them AND it all started with line dance!

If you don’t use it you lose it don’t you? Dancing uses memory cells and also keeps all those creaking joints working. That’s good enough for me.

Dancezing is a time just for me – no husband, children or grandchildren needing my attention. It is such a friendly group & no-one could ever feel left out. It helps keep me fit but more to the point it really makes the brain cells work remembering (or often not, in my case) the routines. It is always fun and even if I am tired and have had a busy day I am always glad I went out as I feel so much better afterwards. Andy says I am always happy on Wednesday nights! Needless to say I really enjoy it!
