A FIVE-week series of free, online dance classes is getting Shire residents of all ages off the couch, while promoting good mental health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Facilitated by dance teacher, Karen Feldman<\/a>, the Shake it Off tutorials<\/a> on YouTube are suitable for people of all abilities, children and adults.<\/p>\n

She said people can just log on, groove in their loungeroom and shake off their stresses and worries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has come about because of the challenging environment we find ourselves in during stage three restrictions,\u201d Ms Feldman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe classes are for everybody. You don\u2019t need to be a dancer to participate, it could just be something to get you moving.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people in the community are really grieving the loss of their usual activities, whether that be a regular dance class, sport on the weekend or catching up with friends, so this brings people together, in a way that we can, and keeps everybody healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 60 registered participants already, written and visual feedback about the classes has been positive, from people living in diverse areas of the Shire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response was fantastic from people letting us know, and we\u2019ve also asked people to send in videos or photos of them rehearsing,\u201d Ms Feldman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve received a couple of pearlers. There\u2019s a video of a family on a farm doing the first week\u2019s dance, which was really exciting, amongst other videos that have come in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a great way for us to see what everybody\u2019s up to and how they\u2019re really enjoying the project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Classes are 20 to 30 minutes each, and it\u2019s not too late to get involved. Ms Feldman said those keen and wanting a challenge, could even complete all the sessions in one day, once they\u2019re all live in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

To coincide with the upcoming Mental Health Week<\/a>, all registered participants will unite for one final Zoom class to practice before the creation of a compilation video, edited together to share with the community.<\/p>\n
