Papanui High School Belly Dancing Course Term 1
Would you like to try something different? Interested in gentle exercise but don't want to go to the gym? Why not come along and enrol in our Belly Dancing class taught by Nicola Rooney and due to start on Monday 19 February 7-8 pm for 7 weeks at a cost of $98. If you enjoy music and moving to music you can do this fun and social activity. All new dancers are welcome, no previous dance experience necessary! Our dancers come from all walks of life, range in age from young adults to retirees, and are all at different levels of fitness and despite popular opinion we don't bare our bellies. Come prepared for a few laughs, and develop lasting friendships through shared experiences in a supportive environment. From folkloric to caberet, tribal to dance fusion, belly dance promotes body awareness and confidence as well as creativity and self-expression, all through gentle exercise and the art of moving to music. For further information and enrolment you can visit our website www.papanui.school.nz... or email Barbara Roper rpb@papanui.school.nz or telephone our office on 3520701.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
