*******************************

The Hip Bumpers is a non-profit making organisation, working with charities, that meets weekly, every Monday from 7.30-9pm, in the Longmore Hall, Keith, where we enjoy learning simple dance routines and dancing strictly for fun.

Workshops in other forms of exercise, from around the globe, are held on a monthly basis.

Everyone over 18, male or female, is welcome and a friendly, positive outlook with a sense of fun is much more important than the ability to dance.

There are no barriers to participation. One of our members is a wheelchair user and we have many routines that are suitable for those with restricted mobility.

The weekly classes provide a social as well as physical outlet for many in the Keith area and our tea break, during which we have a chance to socialise, is a very important part of the evening.

COME AND JOIN US - STRICTLY FOR FUN!!
