DanceIt!

DanceIt! Is a Student-Led Volunteering Project which works in partnership with Holborn Community Association. Volunteers lead dance classes specialising in a variety of styles, aimed specially for older participants. The aim of the project is to spread our love of dance by having sessions with older people so that they can try out a broad range of dancing styles. These sessions provide the participants with exercise and help to improve their mental health and wellbeing especially during periods where many are isolated.
