"I am stoked to have the opportunity to shine the spotlight on the positive impact Kāhu Youth has on our local young people, while raising essential funds for our new Youth Centre". Anna Sutherland, Kāhu Youth Operations Director.

Now in its third year, “Dancing with the Locals” has quickly become a highlight on the Wānaka calendar, for locals in the know.

The dance routines are top secret, but you can expect an evening filled with hilarious, uplifting, joyous, and thoroughly entertaining performances.

“It’s just such a good laugh,” Phillipa said. “People keep telling me they can’t believe how much they laughed.”
