      <description>The uniting visual theme of this art exhibition is the broccoli, which our team has embraced as a symbol of queer joy and frivolity during this difficult time for our rainbow communities. With transphobia and online hate speech continuing to rise, we wanted to create a space of joy and silliness that gave a platform to rainbow artists of all generations and backgrounds.</description>

      <description>Kia ora everyone

Because Greater Wellington is currently at Alert Level 2, we have decided to cancel the classes for tomorrow, 27 June.  Hopefully we’ll be back to Level 1 in a jiffy and will be able to cha cha cha again.  

Take care out there!</description>

      <link>http://www.danss.org.nz/news/2019/4/7/milestone-for-same-sex-dancing-in-new-zealand-1</link>
      <description>Congratulations to the New Zealand Ballroom Dance Council, which has changed its rules so that "A couple of the same gender can dance in any event in New Zealand".  This is a great step forward for equality and all the more reason to get involved in same-sex dancing.</description>
