Cas Shore - Dance Yer Tits Off -A little glitter goes a long way
There is nothing i say about Cas Shore that isn’t positive?
If you’ve not come across Cas on Instagram , get yourself over there and check her out.
A lifelong advocate of healthy rather than stick thin, you can join Cas three times a week literally dancing her tits off for the love of fitness and fun.
A lady with a double mastectomy, Cas talks about her cancer and life in a real way , no shimmer needed when she’s in full-honest chat flow, although she does think life , and aerobics, is always better with a little glitter.
Cas told be “I’m a passionate home cook, all learnt from my mum. I’m an instinctive cook i suppose, mum always told me i was.
I can look in the fridge and make a meal out of what i’ve got in there, which means i’m crap at following a recipe but love recipe books!
I cook for my old lady (i help out) every week to make sure she has a nutritious meal every night!
I’ve worked on many healthy eating and exercise projects in the last 20 years for adults and children in the community.
I love eating out and love all cuisines.”
How did Dance yer Tits get off the ground?
“At the beginning of lockdown last year i was chatting to Nadia Sawalaha, she said she wanted to do ‘old fashioned’ aerobics and i said i could teach that (i hadn’t done it for over 20 years) but i could do a combination of aerobics and dancing to disco music. Thats basically how it started, and having had a double mastectomy through cancer, the name was very apt!
I absolutely love it and it’s now evolved to a lovely community where i still go live three times a week. We dance for around 20-25 minutes and then we chat about anything and everything!
Food is always hight on the list of conversations”
