Invest time into your future brain ... the future comes really quickly!

How wonderful that something we love doing is so GREAT for our brains!!

And this is why we dance ... and also because we just plain LOVE it!

Dance is not just movement. It combines coordination, memory, rhythm, learning, and social connection all at once. As a neurologist, I see how this kind of cognitive load strengthens neuroplasticity, builds cognitive reserve, and supports long term brain health. Other forms of exercise are excellent, but dance challenges the brain in ways most workouts do not. #brainhealth #neurology #neuroscience #cognitivereserve #neuroplasticity

Can't wait to see all my dancers back at the barre next week 🩰🎊🥂.
This is a reminder that there's no "wrong body for ballet" if your heart is that of a dancer 😍

If you want to be a part of this crazy, lovely bunch by next Christmas, come join our Adult Ballet classes!
Classes start again on Monday 12th January. 🎊
So many benefits (balance, coordination, strength and mental well-being among others) and so much fun. Let me know what level you want to dance at!

Final classes for 2025 are over and it's difficult to believe! Thank you, Dancers, for another year of joyful dancing together ❤️
Classes will resume from Monday 12th January 2026.

As evidenced by our FABULOUSNESS🤩 .... and our turnout of course 🩰!

Happening locally! Contact me to learn more about classes in Napier and Havelock North, NZ!
