Natalie said: “I set up danceSing to try to help make a difference to people’s lives by making people stronger and fitter both physically and mentally and I’m delighted that I am in a position to expand the business next year further afield in Scotland and south of the border.

“It is such a perfect combination of singing, dancing, pilates and socialising and great fun but with a serious aim.

“We all need to keep fit but the majority of people don’t stick to their fitness plans. My goal is to keep people motivated so that they want to keep coming back which I’m delighted has been the case this year with most members signing up after the first session.

“It’s also great that down the line GPs will be able to prescribe this type of therapeutic art to patients as I see first-hand the huge benefits on a day-to-day basis and it really does work when it comes to improving overall health and well-being.”
