Scottish dance invitation


The Ranfurly Scottish Dance Club will reconvene on March 3 with a Have A Go night at the Old Masonic Hall, in Warkworth, from 7pm to 9pm.

The club hopes to attract new members and the evening will be followed by a six-week beginners course.

Organisers say the dancing is a fun form of aerobic exercise, with mental challenges.

“Alzheimer’s NZ recommends dance as a means of postponing the onset or delaying the progression of the disease,” they say.

Warkworth provides two Dance Scottish opportunities – Mondays 7pm to 9pm at Old Masonic Hall and Fridays 10am to noon at Shoesmith Hall. Singles are welcome; wear light shoes and bring a water bottle.
