Find JOY

Hi, I'm Nerida!

I’m a professional dancer, coach, keynote speaker and MC.

Whether you’re a dance beginner or a seasoned pro, a child or a senior, my mission is to spark joy and transformation in your life through the power of movement.

With over 15 years of professional dancing, teaching, and speaking experience, my goal is to make dance accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Dive into my online tutorials, subscribe to my teachers’ resources, or book a personal coaching session. Even better, get me in as your event speaker and I can guarantee to have your whole audience moving!

Let’s dance your way to happiness and health!

Let's MOVE Together!

As a coach, think of me as your guide to a world where dance meets joy, empowerment, and inclusivity. 


From lighting up the stage on Dancing with the Stars NZ to coaching aspiring dancers around NZ and speaking at events about the joy of dance, my journey has been one colourful tapestry of moves and moments. 

I’m here not just to teach you how to dance but to inspire you to embrace movement as a pathway to greater well-being and personal growth.

Speaking and Events

Life, like dance, is about connection and expression.
As a speaker and passionate advocate for movement for all, I aim to inspire audiences by sharing my personal journey in the dance world, my experiences on television, and the profound impact of movement on well-being.

As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I’m a champion for inclusivity and the power of music and movement as a way to bring families, classrooms and teams together.
