Come to Papanui High School for a wide range of music from 80's through to current chart hits, Monday has a great upbeat feel to kick off the week appealing to everyone from late teens to 60's. It has a lively atmosphere with between 40 and 70 people
There's plenty of parking at the school, turn right as you come in and park in the Staff Parking area (map below). There is water but no cups at the venue so please bring a named water bottle with you.
The H.I. (Human Interaction) Initiative is a unique proactive approach to improve connection and inclusivity within our dance community. Since it started in January 2020 everyone has noticed the benefits - come and check it out!
We start with the basics followed by learning a few moves which you can immediately start to use in your social dancing.
You can start any week at any venue. Included in the evening is a 30 minute review session to ask questions and get one to one assistance.
