A Circus School Is Coming To Town
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: 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)

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
