About ZEST

ZEST classes are movement classes designed for adults who want to keep their body and brain active and healthy, regardless of their mobility, skill or age.

We start sitting on a chair, with options to stand and travel. No previous dance experience or dance partner is necessary. 

Feed your body and spirit with music and movement, be physically and mentally inspired and stimulated, have fun, meet new friends and feel good!

The program grew from the Dance for Parkinson’s classes established in the ACT in 2013. Classes are taught by a team of highly experienced and dedicated dance artists, who will guide you through a carefully planned series of dance activities.

Dance is a unique vehicle, naturally combining multiple approaches to movement and exercise, building confidence and an improved quality of life.
