Class formats, basic physiology and issues of teaching children, older adults and pregnant women are introduced to give a thorough introduction to this ancient art in our current society. Dawn-Marie Wedlock currently lives and teaches in Worcestershire. As a former International educator in the fitness industry she is well respected for bringing light and humour into fitness training and development. She has competed at National level in both dance and Body Building, and has always been adept at making the complicated world of physiology and kinesiology easy to understand. She is an accomplished and experienced dancer, and particularly enjoys fusion styles, specialising in Club Oriental dance.
