If you and your partner would like to learn to dance free of regimentation and with a fun factor then we would be an ideal match! We also welcome singles as well given dancers are moved round the floor every few minutes to speed up the learning process. If you are new to town, this is also another great way to meet the locals and make new friends. We believe that we provide a great affordable night out designed to chase the blues away. So what are you waiting for - get in touch with your inner dancing queen! We are also on Facebook as well.

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.
Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.
Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.
Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.
We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here
