We're just as keen as you are for Dance Yourself Happy to Spring back into the groove.
However, the guidelines for COVID-19 Level 2.5 restrictions are somewhat confusing for Dance Yourself Happy. We are unsure whether our sessions fall into the category of a social gathering or likened to a gym.
For all intents and purposes, we're taking an err-on-the-side-of-caution approach to resuming Dance Yourself Happy. Therefore, this Thursday's (3 September), session will not go ahead.
A restart date for the Dance Yourself Happy 2020 season will be reviewed after the Prime Minister's scheduled COVID-19 Level update on Sunday 6 September.
Mari Pettersson and MECOSS thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you all back at Dance Yourself Happy in the very near future.
Stay safe, keep your distance, wash your hands and wear your masks.

Hi neighbours!

New Zealanders from farms, factories and schools around the country are showcasing messages of support for Aucklanders trapped in lockdown.

The initiative is being driven by Kia Kaha Auckland, a group aiming to support communities and regions who continue to be disadvantaged by the impacts of Covid-19.

Group spokesperson Lee Astridge said it was a way to show Auckland the rest of the country was thinking of them and wishing them strength in adversity.

“We’re a bunch of rural people who believe that stepping up and showing we care for everyone in New Zealand ultimately gives the country the best chance to thrive,” he said.

Here’s a clip of some of the messages, let us know what you think in the comments!

Auckland Museum is calling on the public submit personal messages they have received in their life about love, loss and longing.

Letters, texts, postcards and even Tinder messages Aucklanders have sent to one another will be compiled into an upcoming exhibition in mid-2021.

Auckland Museum spokesperson Nina Finigan said the exhibition will explore the ways Aucklanders communicate feelings of love, loss, and longing, and how that has changed and stayed the same over time.

“Love, loss and longing – these feelings are universal and reveal something profound about what it means to be human,” she said.

“How we communicate these emotions continues to evolve but our need to tell people we love and miss them is timeless.”

Submissions can be anything from a love letter physically received in the mail, an email from a friend overseas, an affectionate card from a family member or messages from a Tinder profile.

They can focus on love lost in the form of a breakup message, a letter from someone disclosing profound grief, or a letter that takes on new meaning after the sender has passed away.

Family stories where letters or messages played a key part, or letters that have been passed down in your family, are also welcomed for submission.

"We acknowledge that such messages are highly personal. We are committed to ethical use and display of personal stories and will work alongside submitters to ensure their stories are treated with care, sensitivity and respect,” Finigan said.

To submit items for consideration please send a photo, scan or screen grab of the letter, email or message history to submissions@aucklandmuseum.com

Submissions close Sunday 13 September.
