Who can dance? Everyone. Young or old, beginner or experienced, coordinated or not, dance is meant to be felt, not explained.

Whether you’re stepping into dance for the first time, revisiting childhood skills, or simply looking for a fun, active way to stay fit, you’ll find a supportive environment that’s physically engaging, mentally stimulating, and socially uplifting.

Partner dancing opens a gentle, embodied pathway to connection. Its power lies in a balanced, two-way exchange where movement becomes conversation expressed through touch, timing, and shared attention to complement verbal language.

In these sessions, both partners learn to guide and follow, to offer direction and to listen with the body. You’ll practise clear, considerate instructing, responsive following, and shared decision-making in real time, tuning into the subtle cues that build trust and ease.

Missteps are part of the experience. Together you’ll learn to pause, adapt, laugh, and keep moving in natural collaboration discovering fresh perspectives and a deeper sense of connection with each step.

What is involved?

• 3 x 40-minute sessions

• $150 per session

• Can be held at your own home to help incorporate the fun into your everyday lives.

Real-time Approach.

My 2-hour workshop immerses employees in real-time skill development with an engaging, movement- based method that enhances adaptability, teamwork, and empathy. All skills need to be applied instantly and continuously.

Your team will learn two styles of partner dancing, practise both guiding and following roles, and rotate partners throughout. The experience is active, memorable, and highly impactful for team dynamics.

Key Objectives:

• Enhance soft skills development (adaptability, communication, collaboration). Foster mental wellbeing through movement, music, and human connection. Improve team dynamics by breaking down barriers and building trust.

• Provide a fun and immersive alternative to traditional training methods.

These programs are designed to support individuals of all abilities, including neurodiverse participants and those with physical, learning, or sensory differences.

Sessions are adaptive, encouraging confidence, communication, social connection, and physical wellbeing.

I keep each program flexible and responsive to individual needs and goals, even within group settings, while gently encouraging participants to explore new possibilities. Working toward a shared outcome such as a mini performance for friends and family, a flash mob, or learning and confidently performing a full routine for a take home video, provides structure, motivation, allowing each person to meanigfully progress in their own way.

My work so far has seen school aged students strengthen their social circles, adults in respite groups develop their self expression through their own chorepgraphy, soloists and groups perform on a stage, and most importantly, a greater inclusion and recognition of all individuals within a community.

These programs run over 10–20 weeks and culminate in a whole-school showcase where every student has a part to play. The focus is on inclusivity, teamwork, creativity, and building confidence through movement.

Programs can be tailored to curriculum needs, year groups, or school events. All choreography and learning phases are designed to be accessible and uplifting. Classroom teachers are encouraged to join the sessions, offering a valuable change of pace from the usual teaching environment while gaining the opportunity to observe students’ strengths, confidence, and character in a new and refreshing context.

I bring extensive experience delivering staged productions, in-school performances, and community showcases, including events for NAIDOC Week and other cultural celebrations. These projects foster pride, participation, and a strong sense of shared achievement within the school community.

Each program is designed to leave schools with more than a performance; building skills, confidence, and connection that extend well beyond the final showcase.

These sessions blend kettlebells, sandbags, and bodyweight movement to build whole-body strength, cardiovascular fitness, and ease of movement that carries into everyday life. This is designed for those unable or unwanting of the indoor gym environment.

From initial requests and creative training methods explored during the 2020 lockdowns, I have continued to train myself and others in outdoor settings such as local parks and my back garden. The free weights allow for much more variation in movement whilst still bringing enough weight and resistance to develop desired strength and aesthetics.

My approach is to first examine how your body moves, oversome any injury and training history, then coach you to understand how and why movements work. You’ll learn practical training principles you can confidently apply in daily life, recreational activity, or other fitness environments.

As physical capacity grows, so does intrinsic motivation. We work to find that steady feeling of being “in shape” when you are comfortable in your body, and confident in what it can do.
