On the first weekend in March, the FIA - with the help of around 600 of its members - got the nation dancing its way to good health through the latest wave of the Department of Health's Change4Life campaign: Let's Dance with Change4Life.

The participating clubs and leisure centres offered their local communities almost 2,000 dance-related classes over the weekend of 6-7 March. People aged between five and 75 came out to strut their stuff, trying everything from ballroom to tap to salsa.

Participating sites enjoyed a busy weekend as their local communities - including many non-members - danced their way through their doors.

Three facilities that really got into the swing of things were Yarborough Leisure Centre in Lincoln, Curves in Gravesend, and Nirvana Spa in Wokingham. Yarborough Leisure Centre entertained almost 200 people - 75 per cent of whom were non-members. Participants tried everything from salsa, line dancing, modern jazz and hip-hop to dance aerobics and the cha cha cha.

Nirvana Spa, meanwhile, offered six hours of dancing over the weekend and had almost 150 people taking part in the classes it laid on, over a fifth of whom were non-members.

And Curves' Gravesend club incorporated dancing into its regular circuit training programme. Instead of rest stations between each machine, participants were invited to do Body Beat dancing moves before moving on to the next piece of kit. The club later cleared the equipment and offered a street dance class. The result: double their regular Saturday attendance.

However, it doesn't have to stop with the weekend, as anyone bitten by the dancing bug can pitch their new skills against others and post a video of their dancing prowess on a dedicated Let's Dance with Change4Life YouTube page. If they're voted the best act, they will win the chance to dance live on stage with Britain's Got Talent stars Diversity.
