PEOPLE looking to get fit in Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire now have the new opportunity to take up the ancient art of belly-dancing.

Thanks to a grant from Sport Wales Community Chest, new classes run by the West Wales Belly Dance Group are starting up this month in Cardigan and Newcastle Emlyn.

“Not only is belly-dancing an excellent way for people of all abilities and age groups to get fit, it’s great fun too,” said class co-ordinator Rose Barter.

Steven Jones, manager at Ceredigion Actif, congratulated the group on the expansion of the classes

He said: "I’ve been really impressed with the way the group has developed over the last few years. Rose has worked hard with much enthusiasm to get these sessions going.

"Having fun while keeping fit is a great combination and long may it continue.”
