Wellbeing Sessions: Movement

At The Kiwi Kit Community Trust, we believe that true wellbeing encompasses both mind and body. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our Wellbeing Sessions—a series of workshops designed to foster a sense of holistic wellness through movement, creativity, and relaxation. These sessions are hosted by the talented Melina Shabel from Afro Dance Queenstown and will provide an inclusive and supportive environment for all participants.

Kick off the Wellbeing Sessions with our Movement Workshop on 21 July at Te Atamira, led by Melina Shabel from Afro Dance Queenstown. 

Get ready to dance your heart out with Melina!  This community dance class focuses on Afro Dance; grooving to Afro Brazilian, Afro Guinean, and Afro Cuban beats.

This class is set to promote joy, physical activity, and warmth during these cold winter months.  
No prior dance experience is necessary—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to move!
