MOJO MOVEMENT

Dance like no one's watching. Because here, no one is.

Adult dance classes in ballet, tap and jazz with Fran Willoughby at First Dance Studios.

Teaching adults to dance is one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Everyone who walks through that door arrives carrying something. The weight of the week. A busy mind. A body that hasn't been moved in a while. And within minutes of the music starting, something shifts.

That's the magic of dance. It asks your whole self to show up, your body, your coordination, your presence, your joy and in doing that it quietens everything else. For an hour, you are completely in the moment. Nothing else exists.

I teach at First Dance Studios, and what makes this community so special is that everyone comes for their own reason. Some come for fitness. Some come for the social connection. Some come because they danced as a child and want to find that part of themselves again. Some come simply because they need an hour that belongs entirely to them.

Whatever brings you, you will be welcomed. No judgement. No pressure. Just movement, music, and a room full of people who showed up for themselves.

First Dance Studios is something of an enigma in the adult dance world, a place that takes the art form seriously while making sure every single person in the room feels like they belong there.

My current classes:

Theatre Jazz and Theatre Tap — Tuesday evenings, 7.15 to 9.15pm

Ballet — Saturday mornings

And if you're brand new to ballet, I run Absolute Beginner Ballet workshops every three to four months which are the perfect way to take your first steps with no pressure and no experience needed. Once you're ready to go further, my Beyond Ballet Basics workshop runs monthly for those at the beginning of their journey.

It's never too late to start. I promise you that.

The best part about FDS is we know life happens. You do not have to commit to a whole term, you only pay if you attend and if you book and don’t make it, the class will be credited for you to use at another time.
