Hi Bodsier,


I run movement workshops for parents and their babies/young children in Forest Hill and was really interested in your post. My groups usually are a bit holistic and therapeutic as there is playful movement time followed by some relaxation/bonding time. It's not a mini disco, but can involve music and usually has some fun props (such as parachutes) to help encourage playful movement.


A few people have mentioned to me in passing about having one-off groups for parents and older children. I thought I'd jump on your post to see if this sounds like something you would want to do with your son, and find out if this is of interest to anyone else here.


I could certainly look at putting something on in the near future. My next workshop dates for younger children and families is on March 18, but I have another date on April 29 when I could look at including an older family session too if there was enough interest!

Ha red jam, you made me chuckle. Firm footing, your workshops sound great, however I think my son is thinking more dance central songs ie Eric b and Rakim, Stevie Wonder, sister sledge and on a continuum, he just keeps going. Guess we need to have a party, we can just celebrate Spring.....
My daughter goes to a Street Dance class at her school run by an external teacher called Mickey. This term they're dancing to the new Bruno Mars track and last term it was Eve, 'Shake your Tambourine', so music wise it's not too far off the mark. She teaches Zumba at Beckenham Spa and I have a feeling you can take kids there too- might be worth calling them up and asking?

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
