Little Funkers in-school therapeutic dance classes focus on building expression, confidence, connection and well being. The program aims to increase access, awareness and equity for tamariki attending professional dance classes. Weekly Juniors (5-7yrs) and Seniors (8-11yrs) classes are run at TPS, Motupipi and Central Schools.

Wriggle & Jump
This class is all about supporting akonga who need to wriggle, jump and express themselves. For many tamariki, having the opportunity to do this during their school day can make a huge difference to their health, happiness and learning.
Easier for Whanau
We know from experience that classes can be a big commitment for families. By incorporating classes into their regular schooling week and removing the pressure to rehearse/perform/buy gear/buy costumes, we aim to make life a little easier for whanau.
Celebrate Talent
We have an amazing arts community here in Golden Bay. Little Funkers aim to share a safe space for our talented young dancers to build confidence, improvise and learn conventional dance movements, whilst building strength and flexibility.
