  • Dance classes are back!

    Dance classes are back!

    Dance classes are back!

    Sheila will be hosting classes that introduce participants to the joyful art of dancing: tap, free-style, and ballet. The sessions will take place at the Infant Welfare Building and are free of charge.

    The classes will run every Wednesday starting on Wednesday 5 February for six weeks. With sessions scheduled from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. Each class is suitable for both beginners and those with some dance experience, guiding you through basic steps as well as more advanced routines.

    Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing such as leggings, joggers, or trousers that allow for easy movement. For the tap classes, Sheila may have a few pairs of tap shoes available for loan, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them. Alternatively, a normal pair of shoes with a sturdy heel, no higher than 3 ½ to 4 cm, will suffice.

    This workshop promises to be a fun and inclusive experience. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to get moving and have fun, see you there!

    If you would like to take part, please be sure to email [email protected] or let Sheila know.
