Partner Dance 101 — A Date Night at Pinewood!

with Katya Kuznetsova

Founder of The Dance Together Project

Grab your partner, your hubby, your lover, your friend, your neighbour! Everyone and anyone is welcome to learn the basics of partner dancing in this super fun, beginner-friendly workshop.

This playful intro class is perfect for anyone curious about moving with a partner. You’ll learn simple, practical skills that help you connect, communicate, and dance together (even if you swear you have two left feet!). Fun, supportive, and open to absolutely everyone — no experience needed.

A fun note from Pinewood’s founder: years before their wedding, Kiri and her hubby Mick took one of Katya’s workshops, practiced their steps during many kitchen dance parties, and ended up wowing their wedding guests with their freestyle partner moves — all from just one class!

Come for the dancing, stay for the laughs, the good vibes, and a little post-class mingling with snacks and drinks.

Your $90 booking includes two people, snacks, and drinks!

Let’s make it a date night to remember! 💛

Community Class: Yin Yoga

with Guest Instructor Alexandra (Zonte Yoga - El Salvador)

This Yin practice invites you to slow down, soften, and let the body deeply unwind after a busy week. Through long-held, passive postures, you’ll release deep tension, calm the nervous system, and reset the body and mind.

Never tried Yin Yoga? It’s a gentle, accessible style focused on breath, stretch, and supported poses held a little longer — perfect for stress relief and mobility.

This is a community class offered on a sliding scale ($10–$30) — cozy studio vibes, low lighting, and a quiet moment just for you. A lovely way to ease into the weekend with deep rest.
