Every Body Dance Now 2022

Overview

Following a successful launch last year that filled the dance-sized hole in our hearts during a time when clubs and music festivals were banned, the Sydney Opera House's free dance classes are returning for a second year. The classes offer the opportunity to fill your afternoons with dance across four nights in April.

Running across two weeks, Every Body Dance Now takes over the Opera House's Studio with attendees learning a mix of dance styles ranging from disco jazz and line dancing through to Bollywood, Latin and contemporary hip-hop. There's also a Boy Band Bootcamp session for anyone who's ever daydreamed of being in the Backstreet Boys or BTS.

Starting on Saturday, April 9, the classes will be run by dancers, choreographers, performing artists and educators. Classes will run for an hour each, with two to three classes occupying each afternoon of the program kicking off from 3pm on weekends or 4pm–4.30pm on weekdays. This way you can drop in for an afternoon dance fix or head over to Circular Quay after work to shake out the day's energy.

If this is your first foray into organised dancing, there's no need to worry, as participants of all fitness, age and abilities are invited.

The classes are free, but registration is essential, which you can do over at the Sydney Opera House website from 11am on Wednesday, March 23.
