About
Keen to get your dance on in a supportive, judgement-free space?
WonderBeats is for you!
What style of dance is WonderBeats?
WonderBeats isn’t tied to just one style—it’s a feel-good fusion. Classes blend the flavour of street, funk, groove, and occasionally a touch of West African rhythm. It’s all about movement that feels good in your body—playful, grounded, and full of soul.
What music will we be dancing to?
Feel-good, deeply rhythmic tunes with heavily groove-driven baselines. From 90’s hip- hop to Afro, funk, and soul. Sometimes modern, sometimes old-school.
Who teaches WonderBeats?
Liz loves nothing more than spreading joy through rhythm and dance. With over 20 years of experience as a dancer and performer, she brings a big heart, an infectious smile, and a whole lot of soulful groove to every class.
Her movement language is rooted in traditional West African dance, shaped by formal training and deep immersion in dance communities across Australia, Guinea, and France. She pairs this with a couple of years exploring street dance styles, and was selected to undertake teacher training with a Melbourne-based dance company—an experience that strengthened her belief in accessible, feel-good movement for all bodies.
From the Rock Eisteddfod days of the '90s to community festivals celebrating music and movement from around the globe, Liz has always followed the call of the drum. These experiences form the heart of WonderBeats: joyful, soulful, inclusive dance that reconnects us with ourselves—and with each other.

Do I need previous dance experience to join WonderBeats?
No dance experience is required! This is a judgement-free zone. Whether you are a complete beginner, a seasoned dancer or returning to dance, this class is for everyone! It’s all about having fun, and embracing the joy of dancing together in a follow-along format. Guided but informal.
What can I expect a class to look like?
Each week, we’ll kick things off with a fun, upbeat warm-up and stretching session that stays the same, so it’ll quickly feel familiar and comfortable. After that, we’ll dive into some mobility exercises that lay the groundwork for accentuating and feeling into dance movements. Then comes the highlight—learning a short choreography to a different song each week (new moves, new vibes every time!). Finally, we’ll wind things down with a consistent cool-down to leave you feeling relaxed and grounded.
How physically demanding are the classes?
There’s no need to worry about fast or overly complex footwork—it is all about getting you moving! You’re free to bring as much or as little energy as you’d like. Whether you're here for stress relief, connecting with others, improving fitness, or building your dance skills, these sessions are truly what you make of them. Honestly, they cover all bases.
What age range does WonderBeats cater for?
WonderBeats is aimed at adults 18+, but please reach out if you have a younger teenager at home who would really benefit from these classes. A trial class could be arranged.
