DON’T LET A fear of the dance floor or two left feet stop you from an evening of busting out some of your fave moves.

Presented by Tracks Dance Company, the DSDS is back for their third edition in 2024. This time, participants get down to the funky soul sounds of Maurice White, lead singer of Earth, Wind & Fire.

“We like to celebrate a dynamic breadth of vocalists across the DSDS program and love to offer participants a mix of genres, artists and styles to connect with,” says founder and facilitator Jenelle Saunders.

“Maurice White has sung some of the most recognisable disco tunes in recent pop culture, and we think his work is pretty fun.”

A great outlet for self-expression, dancers are invited to step up, as Tracks offers a space that brings community and local artists together in a safe and collaborative environment.

“It’s important to share dance in our community for many reasons – not only is dance a joy to do and a great way to keep healthy, it is also socially connective. It provides new learnings for our bodies and our brains, and a positive challenge. For many people, it is a way to celebrate culture, express meaning and communicate,” Saunders says.

Dancers are free to wear their comfiest clothes – shoes optional! – as they boogie to the beat of White’s renowned music hits. An optional pop-up performance is held at the end of the four-week course, where participants get to show off their new moves. 'Let’s Groove'.
