The 2 July return of AJ Dance Adult Jazz at AJ Dance Studio, Rink Road, Ryde is useful for anyone whose June disappeared before they managed to book. It starts at 6.30pm and costs £8.50, which keeps the stakes low enough to try even if you are still in the stage of saying you miss dancing more often than actually doing anything about it.
Jazz gives you a musical push without the polished image-management some adults dread in open dance spaces. Expect a stronger beat, clear choreography and that satisfying feeling of using your brain and body at the same time after a day spent staring at screens, managing children or sitting in meetings. Because it sits at the front of the evening, you can still make it home for a late supper without feeling the class has taken over the whole night.
If you have been waiting for a moment that feels practical rather than life-changing, this is exactly that sort of entry point. It fits neatly into the island's sport and fitness events, and AJ Dance Studio, Rink Road, Ryde gives regulars and newcomers a proper dance space instead of a borrowed hall.
