In preparation for the beginning of exam period, Health and Wellbeing Week begins on Monday 9^th May and offers a range of activities and sports for free across the university.

Alex Ferguson, Deputy President of the Guild, said: “Summer is just round the corner and we thought because the exam season is looming and everyone likes to dance – why not do some exercise?

“So for a couple of hours in the Mountford, you’ll have the chance to drop in, dance your socks off, and get a bit of exercise at lunchtime.

“Our societies have been great, trained instructors from Cheerleading and Dance will be leading the session.

“We’ll have glow sticks, rave lights and disco beats – and you can turn up in whatever you want to wear.

“Also it doesn’t matter if you’ve never danced before, this is open to absolutely everyone.”
