We're so proud to have our very own Scott & Lily as Simply 2026 Masters! They'll be teaching a workshop each:

Flow-Rider (Open - Lily & Ben) - "We'll explore ride position, counterbalance, and how to make your rides feel smooth and controlled. Develop a consistent approach to connected, grounded rides that flow from entry to exit."

Mastering Momentum (Open - Scott & Ruby) - "We’ll break down the fundamentals of momentum: How to create it, maintain it and change it. We’ll also dive into how connection is the key to seamless momentum in your partnerships, turning our individual movement into one synchronised flow."

We're so thrilled to have the incredible Flo & Tanja as Simply 2026 Masters! They'll be teaching two workshops:

Jodern Mive (Open) - "Think you know all the beginner moves? Let us prove you wrong. We’ll start with the Mirst Foove, introduce you to the Kasbet, and perhaps even unleash the Spush Pin!

Expect bilateral brain challenges, comical movement, a few delightful moments of “what on earth am I doing?”

Distance Dial (Advanced) - "Taking a close look at how we can match the energy or size of different sections or layers of a song by varying the energy and size of our dancing."

👯 A big part of the magic of Simply is our Saturday night. We have a freakin' awesome Masters contingent coming from all over Aotearoa and they'll be putting on one hell of a show!

This year we're also running showcases and teams before our Masters programme. These performances won't be judged, so it's a great chance to try it out if you've been curious or you'd like to do something a bit different (within reason 👀) in a really supportive and judgement-free environment. Register your interest as part of your registration and we'll be in touch, or let us know if you have any questions.

📅 A bunch of our crew are taking a well-deserved break, packing their bags and heading over the ditch to Le Step Dance Company - Brisbane's Ignite!

While they're away, we're a little light on the ground in Wellington so we've made the decision to reduce our class schedule slightly. iDance will be closed next Thursday (no classes or freestyle), and we're going to skip the next few Outside the Box classes too.

Regular programming will resume on September 3rd!
