‘Having not really danced since I was a child, it was my first class with Danceworks last month, and from that first one, I just felt like a dancer. Hsing-Ya is SO engaging, supportive and creative, I’m throwing shapes I never knew I could throw! I feel my brain and body being pushed and getting stronger. She’s brilliant and the class content is brilliant, and I’m able to take the confidence she instils out into daily life too’- Jess
