philosophy that everyone can dance. The official message for

to encourage all members of society into our classes and
performances. Hence the day will open with a kapa haka
performance from Houghton Bay School, followed by FREE dance
workshops for children and young people in Irish, Samba,
Jazz, Pre-school Creative Dance and Hip Hop dance styles.
Plus FREE adult demo/have a go dance classes in Brazilian
Forrro and Caperoeira, Cuban Fusion, Salsa and Swing.
