hI. I’M AMANDA AND I AM THE CREATOR OF FUNK IT. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL DANCER. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL DANCE INSTRUCTOR. I AM JUST SOMEBODY WHO LOVES TO DANCE, whatever those moves might look like.
I WANTED SOMEWHERE TO DANCE THAT DIDN’T MEAN LATE NIGHTS, NO-SHOW TAXIS, CROWDED DANCE FLOORS AND DRUNKS. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW ROUTINES AND have therefore AVOIDed ORGANISED DANCE CLASSES LIKE THE PLAGUE. I have always WANTed somewhere THAT ALLOWs ME TO DANCE HOWEVER I LIKE, SING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AND MAKE THE MOST RIDICULOUS DANCE FACES I can possibly PULL!
THAT’S WHY I SET UP FUNK IT. I WANTED TO CREATE A SAFE AND SOCIABLE SPACE FOR LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE TO STAY HEALTHY, HAVE FUN AND FEEL LIKE NOTHING IN THE WORLD MATTERS EXCEPT THE MUSIC, THE DANCE FLOOR AND that moment.
IF YOU FEEL ANXIOUS or SELF-CONSCIOUS, THEN do COME AND WITNESS MY MOVES AND REALISE OTHERS’ OPINIONS REALLY DON’T MATTER AT ALL. we’re all in it together.
IF I CAN RUN A BUSINESS WITH THESE DANCE MOVES, THEN BELIEVE ME, you can join in too.
