In this episode we look at the first of the five ways to wellbeing: being active. Laura Harvey, Head of Creative Programmes at the English National Ballet, tells about their community driven outreach approach and the many benefits of Dancing East, dance classes for older people. We then meet John Sadaful who is a longstanding participant of Dancing East. He talks about his life as a devoted father and mechanic, and why he loves taking part in the class each week.
