If rain stops play outdoors, but you still want to get fit during the Olympics, I would head for Pineapple Dance Studios. As an amateur dancer since my childhood, a musical theatre class taken here while on holiday gave me my longed for ‘Fame’ moment – and without having to stop traffic and find a taxi to dance on (although not an impossible feat during the Olympic weeks I would imagine?). As a tourist, I was pleasantly surprised that I could simply walk up and pay the fee on the day and choose from a large selection of classes. My class was mixed ability (some people having been lured in by the promise of seeing one of the stars of the TV show I am sure) so I was able to marvel at the prowess of the incredibly talented ‘jobbing’ dancers while I paused to catch my breath!
