Dancing Away the Winter
There's no better way to keep warm on a long winter's night than by slipping on your dancing shoes and joining other like-minded souls for fun, invigorating and friendly dance classes. Many dance classes are conducted throughout the country on a casual, drop-in basis so offer visitors to New Zealand a low-cost evening of entertainment, as well as a great way of meeting local New Zealanders.
