Keeping fit and having fun with a 'boogie' class

Boney M “By the rivers of Babylon” is one of the classic songs that the residents of Warkworth Oaks enjoy dancing again and again. The village started a socially distanced boogie class during the 2020’s lockdown and it was so successful that it became a permanent weekly session.  Now they meet on Monday and Fridays to keep fit and have fun listening to old and new favourites.
