True luxury is found within

The dancing
came first.

Two decades on stage and in studio, years in a treatment room spent learning what a body carries, and how it lets go.

These two dance classes, Return to Rhythm and Somatic Movement, are an extension of that knowledge — designed to give the body what it actually needs, and you the joy of dancing and moving for the love of it.

Return to Rhythm

Adult jazz · 8-week course

A 45-minute adult jazz class, created for fun first.

Choreography and steps everyone can follow. Expect to sweat a little, laugh a lot, and pick up some dance technique along the way. Develop strength and mobility, all while building towards some fun dance combinations that might have you moving to a classic 80s song or today's fun commercial style. Whatever it is, you'll be able to do it.

Great for absolute beginners and those returning to dance. No matter your age or experience, you're all welcome in this room — and it's the kind of room where new friendships and a like-minded community are destined to happen.

Somatic Movement

Embodied · 8-week course

A 45-minute somatic movement session, designed to settle the nervous system and release held tension patterns in the body.

Guided, experiential movement — not about form or aesthetics, but about developing body awareness and learning to listen to what your body has to tell you. Some might describe it as a moving meditation. We close each session with journaling, so whatever surfaces in the body, mind and heart has somewhere to land.

No experience needed, no judgment in the room. A practice like this is beautifully shared in an intimate community: an opportunity to be seen and heard, and to deepen connection with yourself and others.

Limited spaces available for this class.

Your first Tuesday

Nothing to prepare,
just you.

That's all you need. Let the rest take care of itself — joy, confidence, and a room full of good moves, good music and good company will have you covered.

01

What to wear

Comfortable clothes you can move in. Workout gear is perfect. Light sneakers — something you can pivot in safely.

02

What to bring

A water bottle, and that's genuinely it. Everything else is provided, and you don't need to know a single step before you arrive.

03

How it runs

An easy warm-up to get every part of you moving, simple stretches, then choreography we build on together. We close with mindful stretching and breath.

Your teacher

Marian Rose

More than twenty years as a professional dancer, choreographer and teacher, working both nationally and internationally — from cruise line productions to stage and screen.

She has performed alongside artists such as Christine Anu, Marcia Hines, Katie Underwood, Caroline O'Connor, Leah Hayward and Kylie Minogue.

As a choreographer, her work spans corporate events and theatre shows, a residency with Show Off Productions, and Delta Goodrem's CD launch, What Kind of Girl.

She owned and directed Move Performing Arts before moving to Wollongong, where she has taught in studios, and corporate and community facilities. Holding a Bachelor of Education, Marian has taught secondary dance at HSC level and in primary schools, and worked as a specialist teacher for the Parramatta Diocese's Captivate program.

Alongside the dancing, Marian has worked across many community spaces in Wollongong — you may already know her as a yoga or barre instructor from Yoga Hive, Vinyasa Yoga or Gather Wellness.

She also works as a holistic coach and mind-body practitioner: a Kahuna and Lomi Lomi bodyworker, and a Master Reiki teacher, offering treatments through Soul Deluxe and running Reiki teacher trainings and workshops with her sister, Annette Loughlin Smith.

The practice continues

Everything else is still here.

The treatment room hasn't gone anywhere. Bodywork, day retreats and holistic coaching continue alongside the classes — and for many people, one leads naturally to the other.
