“Dancing is a tool to connect with yourself and to connect with others. It’s much more than just movement.” 💃 — Juliana Lima

There’s so much happening when we dance beyond learning the steps.

We connect with the music, become more aware of ourselves, learn to listen and respond to another person, and share moments with people we may never have met otherwise.

That human connection is one of the things Juliana loves most about dance, and something we experience every day at Rio. 💛

Another Kurilpa Derby done… and what a day! 🥁🎉

We absolutely love being part of the annual Kurilpa Derby, and this year was just as much fun as ever! It was wonderful to see a mix of familiar faces and some of our newer community members coming together to represent Rio, dancing and making their way down Boundary Street as part of one of West End’s most loved community celebrations. ❤️

And apparently, we’re still a crowd favourite! 😉 There’s something pretty special about seeing the smiles, hearing the cheers and watching people along the street start dancing with us as we go by.

A huge thank you to Elanore Haynes , John Pathinather , Tarcisio Teatini-Climaco and everyone who joined our Rio Samba crew this year. You all did an amazing job and brought so much fun and energy to the day. 🌟

We’ve been part of the West End community for more than 30 years, so events like Kurilpa Derby always feel a little bit like celebrating in our own front yard. We love being able to get out of the studio, dance in the streets and share what we do with the wider community. 💛

Thank you to everyone who cheered, danced and celebrated with us along the way. West End, you always make it fun! 😄

"In partner dancing, we learn very quickly that confidence is not about being perfect. It is about being present." 🤝 — Tarcisio Teatini-Climaco

It's easy to think we need to feel confident before we join in, try something new, or step onto the social dance floor.

But often, confidence is built by doing exactly those things. 😊

We learn, we make mistakes, we adapt, we laugh, and we try again. 🌱

Little by little, we become more comfortable, not because we're getting everything perfect, but because we're learning to be present and enjoy the dance. ✨
