“I credit Wendy in providing the insight, creative willingness and encouragement to believe that there was ‘more’ after a disturbing concussion. I moved from rather grey to a multicolour-existence. And I have found many delightful travellers along the way” -Alison.L -
“ One of the most enjoyable aspects of working with Wendy is watching how she creates a dance story. Things appear to be random, but Wendy has discerned a pattern, a flow, a feeling, a moment and gently offers a journey to possible resolution or not. It’s always revealing” -Jude.B -
“I felt like my whole life had fallen apart…I wanted to give myself the challenge to go from a broken leg to performing on stage” -Deb.R -
“I had always wanted to dance but never had the opportunity. Wendy gently guided me through and helped me unfurl my dancing wings. I was able to realise my dream and understand that dance is another language. Thank you” -Maggie.S-
“Wendy is very knowledgeable in all aspects of dance. With her encouragement and insight I have learnt to believe in my ability to dance without inhibitions and have been inspired by Wendy to believe in myself. She has shown us that age is no barrier and creative expression is for everyone” -Melinda.D-
“Wendy and the Creaky’s welcoming, all-encompassing style has encouraged a lifelong desire to dance at a significant time in my life. Until September last, for too many years, I was semi-invalid sometimes reliant on a walking stick. A total hip replacement changed all that, gave me confidence and fills me with delight at the ability to move my body again. Wendy’s fun, and for me challenging, routines provide me with confidence, build -up my strength and improve agility to dance. Friday’s my favourite day of the week” -Mani.H-
“Wendy provides a safe and inclusive space, where all women can be taught to dance. I am always in awe of the perfect combination of Wendy’s dance experience, creative vision and ability to adapt choreography to suit each individual within the room. Through Wendy’s gentle guidance, there has been such a great improvement in the range of motion, creativity and confidence for everyone who participates in her classes” -Sharon.W-
“Wendy is having to deal with us all falling apart, and somehow through creative dance inspires us to be the best version of ourselves in our later years. So uplifting to be given the chance to find like minded women who never got the chance to dance when we were young. This creative dance with Wendy is so much fun and inspiring.” -Deb.R-
“As a wife, mother, therapist in my 60’s now and having danced most of my life in professional musical theatre it’s been a breath of fresh air to attend Wendy’s classes. I can just enjoy my body the joy of dancing with like hearted women which all comes together as Wendy invites us to find our unique inner dancer without judgement. She is in my mind the ultimate dance whisperer! -Jenni.M-
