This is a trial for 3 months and if there are enough people interested then it could be something we do every month. So come along and practise the routines you have learnt, on your own or with a partner. You will have the chance to get help and ask questions with anything you may be struggling with. Try out new steps and put your own routine together. Make notes that will help you to remember.
