About Us
OUR VISION
To provide accessible fitness and exercise programmes to the Orkney Community, improving physical fitness and mental wellbeing
and reducing social isolation.

Orkney Dance & Fitness Ltd (ODAF) provides dance and fitness
classes to the local rural West Mainland community on the
Orkney Islands, in response to the following social problems:
01
RURAL COMMUNTIES

02
SOCIAL ISOLATION
In response to increasing social isolation in older adults, we provide social cafes at the end of our specialised
classes to combat social isolation.

suit all abilities, to help people to get and stay fit.
