“Dancing is my happy place. It’s where I lose myself in the rhythms, express my creativity and connect with a community bound by the music.” 💃 — Elanore Haynes

For Elanore, dancing is a place where she can simply be herself. It’s a chance to get lost in the music, be creative and share something she loves with the people around her. 🌟

That idea of having a “happy place” will resonate with a lot of dancers. Sometimes you walk into class or onto the dance floor, the music starts, and everything else can wait for a little while. 💜💛

When Brazil meets Brisbane… things get a little more colourful. 💛💚💙

Last Tuesday, our Rio Samba crew brought a little taste of Brazil to Queen Street Mall ahead of the Brazil vs Australia game, with Samba, live percussion and plenty of Rio energy in the middle of the city. 🇧🇷🇦🇺⚽️

There’s something pretty special about seeing Brazilian rhythms and dance take over the middle of the city, even if just for a little while. And judging by the smiles, we weren’t the only ones enjoying it! Now this is our kind of Tuesday! 🥁

A very fun afternoon sharing a little taste of Brazil ... Rio Rhythmics style. 💚💛💙

Obrigada to everyone who danced, performed and came along to cheer us on! ✨
