The screening identified some of our dancers who already have a problem - they have been recommended to see their doctor for treatment. Others, shown to have below average bone density for their age were given advice on diet and load-bearing exercise.
Needless to say, line-dancing is a great form of exercise. As one who hated going to the gym or any other form of exercise, my regular dancing classes and socials mean that I'm more active in my fifties than at any time in my life - which must be good!
