We're in the running to win $5K, but we need your vote!

Oh my gosh! 🤯

We're on the shortlist to win $5000 as part of Ryman Healthcare's Love to Dance grant.

The three finalists will be chosen by YOU and the rest of New Zealand, so please please please (!) go onto their website to vote for your favourite (aka yours truly – we're the second-to-last entry on mobile, or middle bottom row on desktop).

VOTE HERE!

We want our classes to be accessible to everyone everywhere, which is why, if we win, we will use the money from this grant to run our Shut Up & Dance training programme to grow our team of instructors across Aotearoa.

To send a vote our way, just hit the 'Vote Now' button, fill in the form with your details and hit submit! We are so grateful for your support and of course to Ryman Healthcare for giving us and all the other fabulous finalists this opportunity. You’ll see our application video on their website, as well as below on this page.

It was so much fun to create this video, and we have to admit, we shed a tear or two while we edited it together. It’s so rewarding to see the impact we’ve had on the amazing humans in our community.

While we’re on the buzz of celebrating our community, and why we started Shut Up & Dance in the first place, we thought we’d share this interview we had with Subkit the other week. We chat about how we started the most welcoming dance community in Wellington. Check it out here.

PS: A heads up we're going to be asking everyone to vote for us A LOT over the coming weeks. So… if you haven’t voted yet – please vote! ✅
