Throughout the year, 2023

Over 60's Dance Troupe and Classes

Tracks believe in dance as a whole-of-life activity. The Grey Panthers troupe for over 60's is a prime example of this.
The longest continually running seniors community dance group in Australia. The group gathers for a weekly dance class every Friday morning February-December. As regular performers on the Darwin and surrounding region’s calendar, the group performs a mixture of repertoire and new works at charitable events and Senior-specific gatherings.

In 2023 the Gey Panthers will be involved in the Wuyal - Sugarbag Man project, sharing dancing with Miku Performing Arts (Nhulunbuy/Yirrkala) Rachael Wallis and Yirrkala Elders Janet Munyarryun and Banula Marika.

Join the Grey Panthers

Classes are held in two locations, both Darwin and Batchelor. All you need to do is be over 60 years young. Darwin classes are held each Friday morning at the Tracks Studio. Coomalie classes are held each Wednesday morning in Batchelor.
