With classes to suit all abilities, interests and styles from classical ballet to hip-hop, people are spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

Centre manager, Adam Lloyd-Binding says, \u201cWhat we do is provide people with opportunity. Either as a way to keep fit, for social benefits or as a career, we offer a range of classes for everyone in the community.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the International Dance and Teachers’ Association, (IDTA)<\/a>, in urban and rural communities dancing benefits everyone,\u00a0<\/span>providing an overall community feeling of well being and togetherness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Parr, producer at <\/span>People Dancing<\/a><\/span><\/em>,<\/span><\/i> supports dance development in communities across Wales. He says, \u201cDance offers social and cultural benefits, combating social isolation and gives people a sense of place and purpose in their community.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the ‘Strictly effect’ overall dance companies throughout the country have seen a growth in members. According to Adam, it\u2019s no longer a “high brow\u201d affair as programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing<\/em> demonstrates, people of all ability can give it a go. He\u00a0<\/span>added, \u201cIn the last ten years, dance has never had a higher profile.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
