A Circus School Is Coming To Town

Jen from Trentham

Children in Upper Hutt will soon be juggling and hula hooping their way to learning new circus skills thanks to local dance school, Anita’s Dance Academy.

“We are excited to introduce a Circus School to our studio. We have seen a growing interest from children wanting to challenge themselves physically in new ways. A circus school where they learn hula hoop routines, how to juggle and acrobatics certainly offers this. It’s something new and a lot of fun.” said Anita Perin-Zgomba, Principal of Anita’s Dance Academy.

The Circus School will be held on Sunday afternoons from 2pm to 3pm and are suitable for children aged 9-14 years. Prior dance or gym experience is an advantage but not necessary.

“We are offering two free classes on Sunday 17th and 24th February for children to try the Circus School.” said Perin-Zgomba.

Parent’s wanting to enrol their child or register to attend the free class can contact Anita’s Dance Academy at anitazdanceacademy@gmail.com or call 021 168 6115.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Tai Chi October - December 2024

Andrew from Birchville

Hi, I'm Andrew Hardwick, Tai Chi Instructor and member of NZ National Tai Chi Chuan Association Incorporated (NZNTCCA). The name of my wellness-focussed Tai Chi class is Not Strictly Tai Chi. The quirky name is a humorous twist on the name of shows like "Strictly Come Dancing", and from the fact that (a) I'm not strict and (b) If I see an exercise I think would provide a health benefit to my Tai Chi students, I will add it to my class offerings.

My Upper Hutt venue is Te Kupenga o Rongomai - Maidstone Sports Hub. Classes are in school term times only, and are open to all ages.
So far in 2024 we've had ages ranging from Mums attending while their kids are at school, through to retired people looking for healthy exercise.
