MEMBERS of two dance groups took part in the recent Mix and Move It dance showcase at Okehampton College.

The OCRA Street Dance Club and several of the OCRA dancercise ladies performed in the show. The groups perfected their routines during their club meetings, with their moves choreographed by instructor Lynne Rogers.

She said: 'What a fantastic job they did.  Both groups embodied what dance is all about — fun, spirit and expression, and they did it with pride and professionalism. 

'The adult group especially is very easy going and open to everyone.  Performing in public is not a pre-requisite but enjoying yourself definitely is.'

At the OCRA Street Dance Club, members can take part in street dance, hip hop, musical theatre, and other types of dance. The group practice in the dance studio at Parklands Leisure Centre. All abilities are welcome, as are children over eight years old.

The dancercise class for adults is a simple way to get fit, using energetic dance choreography to create a fun fitness routine. There are two weekly classes at Okehampton College gym on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
