In the lead up to the first ever Mansfield Carnival on Saturday, 17 June, the district council is offering the chance for anyone over the age of 16 to get involved in free dance classes and become part of the carnival parade.
The classes will be led by Maria Slack, of MProductiontime2show, who said: “If you enjoy dancing, this class is for you. You will learn some cool moves, loosen up your body and workout to the latest soca, RnB, Afrobeats remix music and many more music types with positive vibes.
“You will develop your fitness, raise your performance ability and further your knowledge across a variety of dance genres, all helping you to gain confidence and a solid foundation across a range of commercial styles, from urban street to commercial dance. Fun, high-energy choreography routines will be taught step by step.”
A taster session will be held on Tuesday, 28th February, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Weekly classes will begin from Tuesday, 14th March.
