Get moving
If you’re after a little fun exercise, there are a couple of events coming up in February that might just interest you.
Club De Tango: La Milonga
Glebe Town Hall comes alive with the sounds of Buenos Aires every first and third Friday of the month through until December. The La Milonga social dance has been running since 1999 and is the perfect spot to get your dancing shoes on and enjoy some Latin music.
Classes are taught for beginners right through to advanced dancers. You can go along and learn to dance or just sit back and watch the action.
Cycling in the city course
For some outdoor exercise, why not join the Cycling in the city course at the Sydney Park Cycling Centre in Alexandria? It’s a course designed for you to learn simple positioning techniques in traffic, bicycle control skills, and route planning to make cycling from A to B more enjoyable.
You can join the action on Sunday 12 February from 9 am. Remember to bring your bike and helmet.
