Dancing
Dancing is a broad subject whether you like an evening's headbanging or a sedate waltz. I have not included this section in Culture as there are no professional dance companies either ballet or modern based in the Borough. This conclusion has been brought about by extensive research but if you know better please let me know.
There are a number of classes for youngsters but these tend towards rap or hip-hop. Now once you're past twenty-five these get a bit hard on the old arthritis but there are still plenty to choose from.
