Fitness Salsa

A six-week Wednesday evening salsa fitness course at Mary Ward Centre in Stratford, blending Latin dance steps with aerobic and resistance exercises.

This six-week course turns salsa into a high-energy cardiovascular workout, with each session combining a warm-up, basic salsa footwork, aerobic movements and resistance exercises such as squats, lunges and crunches. Sessions run to fast salsa music and aim to improve endurance, coordination, strength and confidence. No dance experience or equipment is needed; participants should wear comfortable clothing and supportive trainers. The course is taught by Gabriella Quercia at the Mary Ward Centre's Stratford location.
