Stay Active with Arthritis Exercises Through Dance for Arthritis

For a limited time only, we are excited to bring you Dance for Arthritis classes delivered in-person at the Kedron Wavell services club located in Chermside.

Arthritis Queensland and Queensland Ballet have partnered since 2023 to deliver the successful online Dance for Arthritis program.

With the support of the Kedron Wavell Community Grants program, the Dance for Arthritis classes will be run in-person for the first time!

This is a once-off opportunity, so don't miss your chance to register.

Starting in your first class is easy... simply select the class and time that suits you best from the classes below and follow the simple prompts. We will then send you a confirmation email which will ask you a few quick questions to ensure that the class will be safe and suitable for you. You can then book a time with Sean for a quick chat where he will have you 100% ready for your first class!

Once these steps are completed, you will receive information on specific class location and details.

Cost

With the generous support of the Kedron Wavell community grants program, these classes are made available for no cost.

Important information before registering:

The classes will run for 10 sessions (over 12 weeks due to public holidays on which days the classes will not run).
All attendees must register for one of the below classes and complete the registration survey and call with our program coordinator. Completing only the below registration form (and not the following steps) does not guarantee your place in the class, and your place may be offered to someone else if the full registration is not completed within a week of program start.
As room sizes have a maximum capacity, we will be unable to accept anyone to a class who has not fully registered. Unfortunately this means you will be unable to swap class times at any time throughout the program.

Available classes:

These classes are being offered as a once-off event. No other class times will be made available.

Due to limited numbers, please only register for one class.

These Dance for Arthritis in-person classes are delivered in partnership with Queensland Ballet, and are generously support by Kedron Wavell Community Grants Program.

Frequently Asked Questions

To gain access to the program you must:

Live with arthritis
Reside in Queensland
Be aged 18 years or over.

What is the best exercise for arthritis?

Staying active and exercising is an important part of managing arthritis pain and discomfort. The best way to exercise when living with arthritis will depend on your individual situation. It might include walking, swimming, stretching, dance, water exercise (or water aerobics), bike riding, or even using an exercise bike.

Exercising regularly can help strengthen your muscles and lead to a decrease in joint pain, fatigue, muscle tension and stress.

can arthritis be reversed with exercise?

While arthritis is not reversible, there are certainly things you can do to limit the amount of discomfort or pain from arthritis. Exercising regularly with workouts tailored to your arthritis type is a great way to increase your mobility, flexibility and strength.

what activities make arthritis worse?

Arthritis exercises are important to help maintain and improve flexibility and strength in your muscles and joints. However some exercise and overexertion can actually do more harm than good. High impact exercise or very high intensity exercises can sometimes cause joints to stiffen. This can worsen some pre-existing arthritis symptoms.

By joining Dance for Arthritis you will be introduced to a form of exercise that can help improve mobility and joint pain.

Do you want to be notified of new class times as soon as they become available?
