Before you start 
Be sure to watch the introduction video and warm up exercises. Remember to look after your body - if it does not feel good on your body, don’t do it - just modify the exercises slightly, don’t take them so far or slow it down. Work through at your own pace.

Scroll down for the following sessions: 
Agility, general movement; legs & centre; ‘fun & funky’.

About the Levels: 
Dance videos 1-6
are for increasing levels of agility, with the first being seated and the sixth for the more agile amongst us.  Videos 7 and 8 'Fun & Funky' are aimed at the young people of Milton Keynes, but are also for the more agile amongst us.

You can either try working through videos in number order, or simply pick'n'mix.
