What we’re about
Finally, a workout to look forward to instead of dreading. Say goodbye to the pain of dragging your feet to the gym and let the music move your body to your favourite groove. One hour to dance on your own and purely for yourself - your body will thank you for it!
What Is Dance For Yourself?
Dance For Yourself is a weekly chance to dance for the pure joy of dancing. We turn the music on for one hour so that you can move to the beat without the judgement of others (or yourself!) It happens in Windsor on a Thursday night from 7:00-8:00 PM @ Windsor Presbyterian Church, 58 Maygar Street Windsor 4030
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC IS IT?
We aim for a little bit of everything. From swing, to dance, to world, to pop, to folk, to rock, to hip-hop, to soul, to super cheesy top 40. We like dance floor classics, and we like weird things we've never heard before. You'll hate some of it, but you'll love a lot of it. And you can always sit out for a song or shrug on the spot if anything doesn't take your fancy - it's not like anyone will see you!Here is a sample:

DO PEOPLE GO ON THEIR OWN?
It's about half/half. Regardless, most everyone finds room on the dance floor to dance independently. Attending alone is totally normal, welcome and even encouraged!
SO WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Whatever makes you feel comfortable to dance in - sweatpants, bike shorts, your office attire, or a one-piece full-sequined leotard. The only rule is that you do need to wear clothes.
DO PEOPLE TALK?Here and there. But not really - the music is loud and people are there to dance, so the most verbal activity that happens is the whooping and cheering while dancing.
IS IT A BIT OF SCENE? WHO GOES TO THIS THING?
Nope! Sure, the bell curve probably straddles 30-somethings, but there's generally a good mix of ages, genders, bodies, backgrounds, and dance styles smile emoticon We've had four-year-olds and over 65-year-olds, and everything in between. The beauty of the dark is that it doesn't really matter. If you want to be there, then you belong!
WHAT IF I HATE IT?
You won't. But if it turns out that it's not your thing, no worries at all, you're welcome to leave at any point and no one will notice anyway!
WHAT IF I LOVE IT?
Then you can come every week, for the rest of your life.
GUIDELINES: Bring a bottle of water, dress to sweat.
