Get those toes tapping with a dance class
Dancing is a great way to let your hair down, get your heart rate up and have plenty of fun at any age. While you may not normally be keen on the idea, holidays are the perfect time to push your boundaries a little and try something different.
Ballroom dancing is always a popular choice, but there are plenty of other dance styles to get your groove on with. Latin or swing dances are great if you want to spice up your holiday routine, or how about a tap class? You’re sure to work up a sweat and have loads of fun along the way.

From hair-raising roller coasters to stomach-churning drop towers, thrill-seekers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to theme parks—just make sure you get the all-clear from your doctor beforehand.
