Great to see Jenny & Daphne back at class last week after their 5 day rafting trip of the Clarence River. I reckon Jan should create a couple of lifts in the dance to make use of your upper body strength!! Who dropped their hearing aid at the last class?

Last rehearsal in the Performing Arts Centre

The Wellington Performing Arts Centre (PAC) has been our rehearsal space for many years. It's been a friendly place and the people have been brilliant. (Thanks Jenny Stevenson!) But the management is changing and it's time for us to move on. Last night we farewelled our studio. We also toasted its terrible floor. Several Crows were bearing fresh battle wounds -- cuts and grazes from crawling or rolling over that scabby floor.

Six dancing grandmothers

Does this inspire you to take up dancing? Hope so! There's nothing more exhilarating than dancing with friends, and public performances add a certain danger and excitement. In 2008, Crows Feet included six grandmothers. Here we are in costume for Requiem.

Crows Feet: all women, all-comers dance group in Wellington, New Zealand

Every year for 11 years we have performed a new programme of contemporary dance. We're based in Wellington, New Zealand.  Any woman can join, provided she's over 35. Jan Bolwell has been our choreographer, director, organiser and inspiration from the beginning.

About the Crows Feet Dance Collective

Tagged:

Crows Feet Dance Collective is an all-women contemporary dance group based in Wellington, New Zealand. Beyond those bare facts, we are a bundle of paradoxes.

  • Members are 35 to 67 years old.
  • Some are super dancers and some … well, not so experienced.
  • We include 6 dancing grandmothers.
  • Most of us have full-time jobs — yet we perform a new work in public at least once a year.

Jan Bolwell's choreography makes the most of our talents, and we have many admirers.
