Green Candle Senior Dancers

The Green Candle Senior Dancers meet every Tuesday in the Dance Studio in Oxford House, Bethnal Green at 10.30am - 12 noon. The group is free and open to men and women with or without previous dance experience.

Term Dates

16th January until 27th March

(no session 13th February) 

Under the leadership of Fergus Early, the Artistic Director of Green Candle Dance Company, the Senior Dancers have started their fifth term.

Green Candle's aim for the Senior Dancers is to provide the opportunity for older people in the local area to take part in regular exercise, enjoy gentle physical activity and develop their creativity! Exercises are designed to be fun and enjoyable with emphasis on maintaining and improving flexibility, balance, strength and motor fitness. Each dance session includes a gentle body warm-up, followed by a more rigorous dance exercise, and concludes with a dance sequence. Different dance styles and genres of music are used to provide variety and encourage enthusiasm.

The Senior Dancers were launched in January 2005 at our base - the OH! Art Centre in East London 's Bethnal Green.
