DANCE SCULPT WITH ROCHELLE DE VRIES AT ETERNAL PERFORMING ARTS
The Queen of dance herself is now offering this dance and strength hybrid class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Add an undercurrent of body positivity and heart-centring breathwork, and this is the ultimate feel-good exercise experience.
