Uptown Funk and Blame It On The Boogie are just some of the tracks being spun at Dance Friday, a new seated dance class and party launched by the MS Society which takes place on the last Friday of every month at the Sports Village on Littleton Road in Lower Kersal.
The seated dance classes are free and are led by fully disability-trained dance instructor, Rachel Cardiff, from Salford Community Leisure's Dance Team...
"Rachel plays the music, which is a mixture of old tunes and new, she leads the group in various easy movements of the body in time to the songs" explains Jeremy Harris from the MS Society "People can sing along if they want and she's very happy to take requests from people if they have a particular song they like. Rachel even has various props like pom-poms and netting for people to wave around!"
"This type of dance is suitable for anyone with MS, or otherwise, as you can do it seated or you can stay in your wheelchair, if needed" he adds "You don't need to be at all fit to take part and you can stop and take a breather if you do feel tired at all. Mostly it's meant to be great fun. Why not put on your dancing shoes and give it a try?"
The group meets at 11am in the café lounge upstairs at the Sports Village and the party begins at 11.15am. The session goes on (with a few short breaks) for 45 minutes until midday then people can stay and have a coffee and chat or go home. People can either take part alone or bring their family along to join in.
