Bollywood Dance is back at Leicester Diabetes Centre

Starting April 30th, researchers from Leicester Diabetes Centre will be joining residents of Oadby and Wigston to discuss healthy lifestyles and join in a fun, free, diabetes friendly Bollywood dance class.

Researchers and clinicians will be taking the opportunity to explore a range of themes with participants including diet, physical activity, time spent sitting, living with multiple medical conditions, feeling happy and sleeping well. This project follows on from several years of work with the Aakash Odedra Dance Company supported by the Wellcome Trust and Sport for All, delivering fun insights into health science.

If you are an Oadby and Wigston resident living with (or at risk of) type 2 diabetes, and would like to join these free classes, please see this  flier for details.
