Ballet Classes starting SOON!
We're at Level 1 (woohoo🥳) so let's get cracking!
From the start of the 3rd term (20 July), my offering of ballet classes will commence in Napier:
PRE-BALLET for tots aged 4 - 5 years: a creative exploration of space and development of musicality, coordination, imagination and love of movement while instilling a sturdy foundation for ballet technique.
RAD PRE-PRIMARY IN DANCE (5 -6 years); The first level of the Royal Academy of Dance syllabi. Beautiful music, creative choreography and loads of room for developing expression through dance.
TEEN BEGINNER BALLET (12+ years) for those who wish they'd tried before or perhaps did a few classes when they were very much littler and would like to give it another bash.
ADULT OPEN BALLET CLASSES (Beginner to Advanced level): Let me know what ballet/dancing you've done before - if any - and we'll take it from there!
"NEVER-TOO-OLD" BALLET for ages 55+ ... or even for those with knee/ankle issues who don't particularly want to jump and leap, but would love to enjoy the grace, creativity and flow of dance while building strength. (Tutus and tiaras always welcome 😉!)
Please message/email me (dancewithcarmennz@gmail.com) for more information or to chat about where you might best fit in.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
