In this episode, I welcome Anne-Marie Payne, the brain and face behind Chair Disco, a form of seated movement and exercise to music aimed at adults over 50 and adults with neurodiverse conditions or living with a chronic illness. Anne-Marie, whose heart is with community-building and development, also runs projects for a small grassroots independent charity based in Hackney and does freelance social media and copywriting. Quite a woman!
We talked about how Chair Disco was born, the drudgery of applying for fundings - Anne-Marie's classes are free -, how Chair Disco eventually adapted during the pandemic, social media and what the future may or may not hold for Chair Disco.
