Meet the Team Day Five!
We are finishing off our tutor introductions this week with the incredible Vicky who is the tutor of Rockin' Rhythms!
I'm Vicky and I run the Tuesday night Rockin' Rhythms group. I have always enjoyed learning new dance styles and music, and get to bring this to HB Jammers. I love seeing how much joy and fun the Jammers have each week. My favourite part of HB Jammers is seeing the Jammers perform. Away from Jammers I work as a Senior Estimator in contruction, pricing plumbing and roofing for different construction projects. In my spare time I love to read, do DIY projects, and I am also fortunate to be President of HB Jammers which keeps me from being bored!

Today we are shining a spotlight on our newest tutor Jo who is the amazing tutor of Melody Makers!
Hi I'm Jo. I run the workshop in Hastings, I'm quite new to this but I absolutely love it. After every session my cup is overflowing. I love everything about music, singing, and dancing so enjoy doing this with the group every week. One of my favourite songs to do with the group is Pepeha by Six60. Outside of Jammers I work at Ebbett Park School as an NZSL communicator. NZSL is one of my passions and I would love to incorporate it into our workshops. I am also a hairdresser on the side.

Kia Ora I'm Clio and I am the tutor of Magic Movers on Thursday evenings. I absolutely love being a tutor and brag about how incredible our Jammers are to anyone who will listen! In real life You will usually find me either at work, or crafting! I collect hobbies, with my current obsession being quilting and crochet. I am passionate about disability advocacy and am always looking for ways to make life more accessible for everyone. As a side project I am in the HB Jammers Committee and am in charge of all our social media and publicity, so I am the one making all these posts! My absolute favourite song is Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz!
