High-energy bhangra dance workout classes led by the Reading Bhangra Group, open to all ages, genders and abilities.
Reading Bhangra Group are running their final semester of the year at Woodley Airfield Centre, with classes starting Wednesday 4 November and running every Wednesday until 9 December. It's a six-week block, so you're signing up for the whole run rather than dropping in for a one-off.
If you've never come across it, Bhangra is a high-energy Punjabi folk dance, and these sessions are run as a workout. The group describes them as high-energy classes open to all ages, genders and abilities, so it's not just for people who already dance. You move to the infectious beats of Bhangra music, and the whole thing is led by experienced instructors who'll take you through the steps. It's as much about the workout as it is about the culture, and you'll be doing it alongside a mixed group rather than a specialised class.
There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you sign up. Registration is required via Eventbrite, and there are no refunds, so make sure you can commit to the full six weeks. The main door at the centre is coded, and an attendant is only there until 7:10pm, so the class starts at 7pm sharp — if you're running late, you might find yourself locked out. There's parking available across the road, which makes getting to the venue straightforward.

Each session runs from 7pm to 8pm, and the cost is £30 for the full six weeks. That works out to £5 a class, so it's a low-cost way to pick up something new. The classes run every Wednesday from 4 November to 9 December at Woodley Airfield Centre, Hurricane Way, Woodley, Reading RG5 4UX.
