2026 First Session - 15 January

Welcome to Shuffle Class 2026! Ready to kickstart your shuffling journey? Every second Monday, we’re diving into the basics of shuffle dance: building confidence, freedom of movement, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you’re totally new or just keen to refine your steps, this class is all about connection, self-expression, and finding your own unique flow. Come join the vibe, meet great people, and get those feet moving. Shuffle isn’t always easy at first, but once you get those first moves down, you’ll find your groove!

In Shuffle Class 2026, you can expect good vibes, a supportive environment, and plenty of sweat! We’ll be learning foundational steps, improving technique, and, most importantly, enjoying the music and moving together.

2026 First Session - 13 January

Free vinyasa yoga for all levels. BYO yoga mat.

Classes are a flowing, athletic style with sun salutations, strength poses, balancing, focused stretches and a bit of chill time at the end. Other movement styles, like pilates, strength training, dance, and mobility are often mixed in, too. Each class has its own flavour and focus, and is set to fun modern music. The teacher participates and demonstrates for the entire class, so you don't have to know the lingo, and you won't be physically adjusted, corrected or assisted by the teacher.

Participants are guided to listen to and sense their bodies and give expression to their own individual movements, to dance the dance that only they can dance. A great variety of music and rhythms will inspire slow and internal dances as well as wild and exuberant ones. Doing this together creates community, an opportunity to commune with self and with each other – getting to know yourself a bit better and having fun along the way. Come play! No experience necessary, every 'body' is welcome.
