Meet Vicky, a regular participant in Linwood Arts’ movement dance classes for older adults. She describes the experience as something that “moves moods,” showing how dance can uplift and energise.

Linwood Arts is Christchurch’s only Community Arts Centre, offering a creative space and exhibition opportunities for local artists. With support from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage, Linwood Arts provides 13 weekly classes in visual arts, singing, dance, and performing arts. These classes are crafted to make art accessible to everyone, especially those facing barriers such as low income, social isolation (including elderly individuals), and mental health challenges.
