A DANCER from Caversham is going to be delivering free online dance fitness classes to people during the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.

Esme Campbell, 23, has decided to stream dance fitness classes to people who are self isolating or no longer able to attend exercise groups due to Covid-19.

She posted online yesterday morning asking people whether they would be interested in such classes and revealed the response has been "really overwhelming".

She said: “I’m so amazed how many people have come together and thought it’s a great idea.”

Esme is hoping to run various classes aimed at children, adults and the elderly through Facebook Live.

She believes "a healthy mind is a healthy body" and explained the classes are "for the community to keep everybody happy and smiling at a tough time".

"Let’s keep hopeful."
