BOOTSCOOTIN’ FUN AT U3A

Tamborine Mountain U3A is a well-established, not for profit organisation and for last 15 years we have been getting bigger every year. It is managed by a small committee of volunteer members with the aim of continued learning and academic stimulation, as well as physical wellbeing.

We offer several short courses, ongoing courses/classes, lunch/dinner events and presentations with varied topics to broaden the mind and increase fitness levels.
One of the classes we run, which is very close to my heart, is Line Dancing and we are known as the Tamborine Mountain Bootscooters.
If you enjoy music and love dancing, but do not have a partner (or he or she may not like dancing), this is your golden opportunity to join in one or two hours of good fun.
Our dancing classes have been running for five years now and we plan to continue for many more years to come. With enthusiasm and passion for dancing, our dancers continue to enjoy this fun-filled activity as well as reap the benefits of exercise along the way.
As it is a gentle exercise, you will be able to keep going for a long time. The more you dance, the fitter you become. Dancing is a mild, yet effective, exercise, however your heart rate will be in fat burning mode (who does not want to get rid of those extra kilos!). Your cheeks will glow and you will feel completely rejuvenated. You will lubricate and move those stiff knees and hips, strengthening your muscles and giving them endurance, and they will love you for it.
Dancing improves your balance, co-ordination, and mobility, and you will feel the endorphins ramping up your happiness factor. Most of all, though, you are not at home alone and isolated, as you will be with a bunch of like-minded people of similar age who are all having a good time. After dancing, we usually go for a coffee where you will get a chance to get to know your new friends.
Why wait, give it a go.
We offer the first lesson free of charge, to see if it is for you.
