Ever wanted to burst into mass-choreographed dance in an XTina-vs-Usher kind of way? Well brace yourselves, funk wannabes, because last Wednesday night I took another baby step towards doing just that at the Chunky Move studios, and with $15 and the right pair of directional trackies, you can do it too!
Your instructor, a gold-hooped funk goddess called Trish, will make you shake your booty in ways hitherto undiscovered by the great unchoreographed (which experts assure me is the dance equivalent of the great unwashed).This funk acolyte may have been thrustin' to the left whilst the rest of the class was jammin' to the right, but the sweat worked up during said thrustin' was enough to ensure a self-righteous sense of fitness which ensured no further exercise was necessary for the rest of the week.
Not up for a funkin'? Contemporary, hip hop, ballet and flamenco classes are also on offer for all you funk naysayers. And the proceeds of your ass-shakin' help fund one of Australia's most adventurous contemporary dance companies (Chunky Move if you haven't cottoned on by this point), so your moves also amount to a mini slice of funk philanthropy.
Ambience: Indoor
