· The cool down will include exercises that lower your pulse, muscular strength and endurance exercises (for the tummy, thighs and improved posture) then a cool down stretch and a remobiliser to finish.

Routines will be varied to incorporate different styles such as, cha, cha, cha; Charleston; modern jazz and pop.
