Winter Warmer - Make a Move on Mondays!
Did you know we have an ONLINE class? You can move from the comfort of your home, keep warm and stay active.
These sessions are designed for over 55s and are seated with a choice to progress to standing /supported option.
We move through a session of 45 mins isolating parts of the body and progress to whole body movement.
The benefits of a regular practice will support joint mobility, coordination, strength and balance whilst standing supported and keep you social as well as challenging your brain, which is essential as we age! All to great music!!

$14 a weekly session/ professional and experienced facilitator/ health & wellbeing benefits!
You will need an ipad or computer/large screen with Zoom capacity.

Falls prevention is everyone’s responsibility.

Sir Stephen Fry (comedian, actor, writer, and presenter) recently shared details of a serious fall that caused multiple broken bones and other injuries (https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2026/apr/29/stephen-fry-sues-tech-conference-organisers-for-100000-over-fall-from-stage).

His story is a reminder that falls can happen to anyone, and that preventing falls is everyone’s business.

Creating safer environments benefits people of all ages. Clearly marked fall and trip hazards, good lighting, safe walkways, clear edges, handrails, and thoughtful event and workplace design all play a key role in reducing falls risk.

Falls prevention isn’t just about older people, it’s about creating safer environments for everyone.

Big thanks to all our volunteers in our Dance4wellbeing community and across our sector and country. Volunteering is the heart of our shared and supported approach!
Thank you to all who offer their time and energy to support people across the country! 💞

Happy National Volunteer Week!

This week, we celebrate and thank the 9.5 million volunteers across Australia who give to communities every day.

Volunteers are the heart of Australian communities. They support people through challenges, create connection and belonging, strengthen local communities, and help essential services and organisations thrive.

2026 is a defining year for volunteering, and throughout National Volunteer Week, we are proud to celebrate the people and communities at the heart of it.

To every volunteer across Australia, thank you.

Let’s make 2026 Your Year to Volunteer.

Join the celebration this week and tag a volunteer in the comments to show your thanks.

I have been fortunate to dance in many places in the world and meet wonderful communities of humans that inspire me to listen, learn and share the many things that bring connection, curiosity and wonder.
The simple act of moving together to music can forge bonds between us no matter age, life circumstance or background.
Today was a special day, I am building a beautiful community in regional Australia in the small town of Young.
I am running 3 community classes with the most interesting, generous and kind people. The connections are so lovely, the lady you see here in the yellow has a cousin in Koorawatha and when I moved from Lake Macquarie, she contacted her cousin to let her know of the new programs of which she is now a participant. The eldest is 93 years old.
What incredible life stories unfold at our after class tea social each week!
I might have to start a blog.... to good not to share
Come and join us to keep building these special dancing communities!
