After a gruelling three years of professional dance training and work in the musical theatre industry, I’ve rediscovered the joy of moving to feel good. No comparison, no competing for the job, just dancing because it’s great for the soul.
My dancercise classes are a safe space where you’re encouraged to lose all inhibitions and strip exercise back to its purest form—dancing like no one is watching. The classes involve plenty of silliness, sweating, sensational playlists (if I do say so myself), and so much heart.
I’ve been teaching this class at Riverside Studios for nearly three years now. I’m sold out almost every week, which is firstly incredibly flattering, and secondly, a testament to dance being such a joyful form of exercise.
Let’s recognise the importance of judgement-free exercise and dance together—please come along for an hour of boogying. Absolutely no previous dance experience required!
I run classes in four locations, click each location to read more and find the booking link.

A moment for @rolafitnesshouse 🥹 Nearly three years ago when I ran off to Málaga for three months, unsure of what to do with life (ha!), I went to Rola to attend a barre class. One week later, I was welcomed into their amazing studio family and have taught Dancercise each time I visit ever since. I’ve made friends for LIFE, attended their weddings, watched friends move through pregnancies, danced, beached, ate, drank!!!! It’s so special. Dancing is powerful ❤️ Keep moving, people! A few shots from Rola over the years 💃🏻
This person is pure joy and energy 💫☄️ Thank you Anna for giving this amazing class at Rola, we love you! Until next time ⭐️
