Testimonials
They make me feel like I've achieved something more than when I do my other class. Jo's classes give you a better result.
I love the Zumba classes that Jo runs. I always feel as though I have done a thorough work-out.
Jo's zumba class is fun and energetic. When I'm tired at the end of the week I sometimes don't want to go, but they make me feel lively and energetic by the time I go home.
Love Jo's class is such fun and a great work out at the same time!
Jo's classes are great - the routines are fun and 'do-able' and I started to feel stronger and fitter very quickly. I really miss it when I can't attend one week!

These adult tap classes highlight the element of “fun” whilst exercising and learning a new skill.
There is a mixed ability tap class available in Leighton Buzzard and an advanced and improvers tap class in Hemel Hempstead, which all consist of a warm-up, followed by exercises incorporating new steps and improving already learnt steps, leading to a routine each half / full term.

Children's Classes
Children's Dance and Theatre Classes
The main element of all the children's dance and theatre classes is "FUN!"
Dance is all about listening to the music and moving your body in time with the beats. That's it, as simple as that!
The discipline of theatre and dance classes improves a child's concentration and confidence, stretching their imaginations. They really can be whatever they want to be!
None of our children's dance classes are set for exams, although if children wish to take dance exams, this could be made possible.
The classes are imaginative, fun & high energy.
We offer children's dance classes in Ballet, Tap, Streetdance
and Let's Pretend (Music & Movement)
All the childrens dance classes in Leighton Buzzard are held at
St Barnabas Church Hall, Waterloo Road, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard

Creative Dance
Creative Dance
I heard someone once say, that "If You Can Breathe, You Can Dance". How true that statement is. Dance is accessible to all...
As Stress Relief...
As much as you can learn steps technically & master them to a high level, the most natural and perhaps therapeutic way of dancing is to allow your body to move in a way that is free.
Expressing your feelings and emotions through dance and movement can be an incredibly moving experience. Your movements are unique to you & can lead you on an amazing journey. It is a fantastic way to relieve tension & stress as well as allowing your creativity to flow naturally.
When you attend a regular dance class to learn a new skill, get fit or just re-live a child hood hobby, the tension relief can be quite different, but just as beneficial.
You find yourself concentrating on what the teacher is telling or showing you and the movements and steps you are learning. By concentrating on these things, you forget about the stresses and strains of the day and you start to relax. This can only be a good thing!
When the class finishes, you will hopefully find yourself feeling more relaxed, energised, motivated and positive.
Our bodies have an incredible way of making ourselves feel better and I can only tell you from my experiences, that dance is one of the most amazing ways to relieve tension and stress AND to feel better about oneself.
If you wish to book a Creative Movement Workshop for yourself with a group of friends, for your employees and work colleagues or for a Community Group, please email jo@perfect-timing.co.uk.
Happy Creative Movement!
