SOUTH WAIRARAPA PROBUS CLUB

TANGLE COMMUNITY DANCE TROUPE – JUSTINE ELDRED

Our main speaker at Probus this month was a stimulating talk by Justine Eldred. She covered some aspects of her personal life but the main emphasis was on the joy and power of dance for people of all ages and abilities. The Tangle troupe encourages people to “give it a go” and discover the joy of dancing with others of all abilities and interests to express emotions and all the aspects of life we all appreciate/endure. Age or some form of disability is no barrier – we can all join the dance and learn to communicate and express ourselves better.

Anyone who has attended any of Justine’s productions in the past will know that you always go away afterwards with a better appreciation of the human spirit and the joy of life. We look forward to attending the upcoming production by Tangle Community Dance Troupe later in the year.

We also enjoyed a short talk by our mini-speaker, Hilary Capper, on her life at Arrowtown Primary School. Members related to their own childhood schooldays in various country areas and the different style and content of teaching in those days. It was also a good reminder of the long term beneficial effects on children when they are privileged to have teachers who inspire and motivate them.
