DG Dance Fit
Welcome to DG Dance Fit - the ultimate adult dance class designed to make fitness fun and accessible for everyone!
Whether you're a complete beginner or you used to dance as a kid, this class is your ticket to a fantastic workout.
We've combined the best of both worlds – the joy of dancing and the benefits of a full-body workout. You'll groove to exhilarating beats while improving your cardiovascular health, coordination, and flexibility.
Don't let the kids have all the fun! Jump into a judgement-free zone where you can let loose and have a blast.
Defy Gravity Ballet
Exactly as labelled! You will be defying gravity by building muscle tone, flexibility and poise. Every wonder how dancers have such amazing posture? They spend more hours at the barre than on their phones!
Join us for an amazing weekly Ballet class that is sure to boost your energy, help calm your mind and truly allow you to both reverse the signs of aging and the social media scrolling neck! (we said what we said)
Wear leggings/bike shorts and a tight fitting shirt or bodysuit and tights with bare feet, socks or go all in and get Ballet slippers from us (we fit them on site and have some second hand too!)
Beginners welcome.
DG Dance Sculpt
Ever wonder why dancers have amazing balance? Core strength friends, functional core strength.
In DG Dance Sculpt, we bring together a zippy dance warm up (you'll be singing along!), followed by barre-inspired conditioning, optional light weights, stability-focused core work (with a smile) and some functional flexibility building in this awesome class.
Wear comfortable clothing and bare feet (we are building strong feet too!)
Weights optional, giggles mandatory.
Beginners welcome.

Busy brain? We've got you. Sometimes it's really hard to turn off your brain and ease into relaxation. Join us for mediation workshops and mindfulness chats.

Coming Soon - Crystal Sound Bowl Workshops
90 mins of Relaxation, Mind Reset and Energy Clearing
Guided mediation including individual Heart Opening with tuning forks, grounding with essential oils and clearing with crystal sound bowls.
Each person will receive a heart opening before we begin, as well as some grounding techniques followed by a journey much like a guided meditation with reflective questions and visualizations.
We lead you into a deep place of relaxation where you will listen to the bowls for 45 mins, then be brought into awareness gently with affirmations.
