No partner or experience required and seniors with walkers and in wheelchairs are welcome. You are welcome to come with a support person if necessary. This class is suitable for seniors who are not active and able enough to attend typical senior dance classes. There is high demand for this programme, so we kindly ask that if you enrol you make your best effort to attend every week.
This programme is run by SeniorsDANCE in partnership with TAPAC. It is made possible by support from Lottery Auckland Community.
