GOLD MOVES AUSTRALIA – Dance for Life in the Scenic Rim

Posted by Scenic Rim Regional Council | Jul 22, 2021

Gold  Moves  Australia  was  established  by  award  winning  educators,  Gail Hewton  and  Julie  Chenery, who between  them  bring  80  years  of professional dance  experience  as  artists, educators,  community practitioners,  and  producers. 

We see  dance  as  an  elixir  for life! Dance  offers  a  myriad  of benefits  especially  transforming  the health and  wellbeing  of  older  people. This  transformative  power  has a  positive  ripple effect  on families,  friends,  community  and  society  in general.  We  want  to  share  this dance  potion  with communities  throughout  Australia.’
