Do you need dance experience to try your Danceworks classes?
‘Definitely not, because the workouts are based on the exercises I do regularly to stay what I call “dance fit”. Obviously, I’m not dancing 24/7, 365 days a year, so between touring and Strictly, I still need to keep my body strong, nimble and flexible. Danceworks touches on every aspect of fitness, including strength, flexibility and cardio, but most importantly, I wanted it to be something that people really enjoy. There are 10 high-energy workouts programmed across six weeks – suitable for beginners through to the more advanced – and the feedback so far has been great. People are really enjoying the challenge, and noticing the improvements they’re feeling in their bodies and mind.’
