Losing weight and getting fit seems to be everyone’s New Year resolution, but I really didn’t want to join a gym. I knew that I’d never go, and I’d much rather do something with my friends. A few of us agreed that we would try something new, so I started looking for classes in the area that would be good to try out. We all love going out and dancing, so we decided that dancing would be a great way to keep fit. A colleague of mine at work suggested that I have a look at the classes that are available at www.urbanedgeacademy.co.uk, so I rang them up for some information.  (more…)

When my son was five and started school, he started stuttering. At first I was really worried that it was because he was being bullied, but the teachers at his school assured me that he wasn’t, and he was just very nervous all the time. At home, his speech is generally fine, so I tried to think of activities that would improve his confidence. I’d heard that acting and drama are a great way to improve speech problems, so I looked around to find a sympathetic and experienced drama class that could help my son. I looked online and found www.danceschoolsbradford.co.uk, so I rang them for a chat and explained our situation. They were very friendly and helpful, and said that they would definitely be willing to do all they could to help.
