Hey Kincumber – let’s dance!

Kate Englefield of Let’s Dance Central Coast is set to introduce a new community dance class to Kincumber.

In a world where loneliness and disconnection are quietly on the rise, Englefield is stepping up to bring joy, movement and connection … with a soundtrack.

The new weekly dance class will launch on Tuesday, April 29, at the Kincumber School of Arts.

The one-hour class, to be held from 10am every Tuesday, will offer a low-impact, all-inclusive dance session set to songs from the 60s to now.

Englefield said the class was thoughtfully designed with older adults and retirees in mind, though it’s open to anyone who wants to move, connect, and enjoy an hour of uplifting music and movement, no matter their age, experience or ability.

“Community isn’t just something we have to build from scratch,” she said.

“It’s something that already lives inside of us and we just need places to remember how to find it again.

“I created Let’s Dance to be one of those places.”

Englefield has been dancing since the age of three, training professionally in London before spending more than 20 years performing on stage and screen.

Now based on the Central Coast, and with two small children of her own, she’s turned her passion for creativity into a tool for connection and wellbeing.

“There’s so much pressure in our society to be productive, competitive and perfect,” she said.

“But that’s not what this is about.

“This is about joy.

“It’s about moving your body in whatever way feels good, having a laugh, and sharing space with people who are just happy to be there with you.”

The class is ideal for older participants, or anyone looking to bring more movement into their life in a fun and low-pressure environment.

Each session is $15, or $50 for a four-class pass.

No experience is required, no bookings are necessary, and all you need is comfortable clothing, a water bottle, and a willingness to have fun.

Join the low-impact dance class from 10am-11am each Tuesday in the Kincumber School of Arts Hall.
