International Day of Dance - Intro to Social Set Dancing
To celebrate the International Day of Dance we are holding
a free introductory beginner dance class. Traditional social
set dancing covers Barn dance/English Ceilidh/Bush dance/
English Country dance.
This is great way to get some exercise
to some lovely old tunes. No partners required.
This group has been dancing in Northcote for 25 years and we thought the International day of dances was a great opportunity to share this highly social dance form with the community.
This is a free class. Email english_dancing@plantagenet.co.nz or message www.facebook.com... to book a spot.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
