I have been dancing all my life, but sometime in my 30s, as I performed and trained less and moved in to more office based work, I stopped.
I began to wonder where my energy had gone, why I no longer trusted my balance, why I no longer felt strong. That old walnut had caught up with me at the ripe old age of 40. So I joined the gym, like everyone else. What a depressing, soulless thing that turned out to be!
After a year or so trying to be fit and failing miserably I had a revelation. I love to dance! I had heard of Zumba but was terrified to try. To be back in a room with others learning how to move again. It took some time to build the courage but I finally got there. And it was fabulous! Challenging yes, but so much fun! Then I wanted more…
Santha has been a mover her whole life. Studying jazz ballet as a child, as an adult she performed flamenco, studied physical theatre via Le Coq, movement/performance improvisation with Theatre of the Ordinary and more recently West African dance in Ghana and Australia. She has been participating in Nia classes for the past 20 years. In July 2016 she successfully undertook her Nia White Belt training and immediately began teaching. She completed her Blue Belt Training in 2018 and has also taken intensives in Nia’s 52 Moves and Move to Heal training.
She has now designed her own class that incorporates embodied movement, meditation, funky dance moves and seriously groovy music.
