​Join us for a series of free classes suited to women of ALL ages, abilities and backgrounds, where you will learn a special routine and perform it "flashmob" style in iconic Canberra locations. Society may overlook women, especially as they age, but COUNT HER IN is here to ensure we're SEEN and celebrated! Led by Susan Innis, these classes offer more than just dance – they're a chance to reclaim visibility and showcase the power, vitality, and vibrancy of women at every age.
