ABOUT DECOTE DANCE
Decote dance is the fastest growing fitness and dance company in Tyneside. Opened in the Summer of 2009 we are based in Whitley Bay and our core focus is on getting children & young people moving through dance & exercise.
Jo-Anne Torre with a team of dedicated dance professionals have innovated a programme that incorporates Hip-Hop, Jazz, Breakdancing, Zumba and ballet which are used as a means to exercise, socialise and hold performance events throughout the year.
WHY IS EXERCISE SO IMPORTANT?
Children should be doing at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day, but four out of 10 boys and six out of 10 girls don't reach this target. [ BUPA ]
At least twice a week you should include activities to improve bone health, muscle strength and flexibility. Activities that are 'weight bearing' (in other words, where you are on your feet, rather than in water or on a bike) help build strong bones. [ BBC HealthWeb ]
Apart from the health benefits people of all ages get from exercise, it's also an opportunity to meet up with friends or make new ones, it can provide a fun break from the stresses of school and exams, and it can give you a real sense of achievement - you never know, you might discover a talent you never knew you had.

The previous Prime Minister Gordon Brown said "Watching sport is a national pastime. Talking about sport is a national obsession. But now we need to make taking part in sport a national characteristic."
