Testimonials

The workshop hosted by Chuby was both enjoyable and upbeat. Despite being on an online platform, Chuby was able to engage all the young people in the session and had everyone on their feet. The dances were easy to follow through Chuby's demonstrations and were well-suited for people aged 10-15.
I enjoy dancing because it allows you to be free and express yourself. The thing I enjoyed most about Chuby's workshop was that he taught us dances that were really fun, that also inspired me to go outside of the box with my dance moves
"Jungle City Projects delivered Dance Workshops as part of our Children's Festival and they were outstanding. The instructors were well organised, their management of kids was perfect, and most of all their workshops were very engaging and thoroughly enjoyed by the kids. Highly recommend!"
Trish StorerMarketing & Entertainment Coordinator, Club Mulwala
"I am so grateful to you and the team for your amazing work on the weekend. In spite of the weather, I was told how much energy and passion you brought to the event, and I was heartened to see people show up and dance!"
Anna HeldArts Infrastructure Officer, Moreland City Council
"Thank you so much for your efforts yesterday. You all made the Maryborough NAIDOC celebrations a huge success. We are appreciative of the way you engaged the kids in the workshops and the manner in which you introduced the day with the dance and the short reference to what Getting Up, Standing Up and Showing Up means to each of you. Your enthusiasm and energy was utterly infectious and the dance at the end was something I will never forget. This was our first whole school event in over two years and we finished the day on top of the world, largely due to your efforts and skills. Thanks again, you were a pleasure to work with. Lots of kids told me, “It was the best day ever”……and I must say, I agree with them."
David SuttonPrinciple, Maryborough Education Centre
The guys were such a pleasure to work with, and it was amazing to see how they just created a dance out of nothing. It was like watching magic happen. I'm looking forward to getting the chance to work with y'all again!

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

For many of us, dance is what you do at nightclubs, in zumba classes or after a few drinks. But look deeper, and you’ll find dance is the weapon of the oppressed, the lifeline of the displaced, the unbroken thread to ancestors who refused to be silenced. It’s what happens when a community’s back is against the wall and their feet start moving.
The Assemble Project asks the question: is dance political, and if so, why does it matter? So far, we’ve identified over 50 different global styles that are politically radical. Assemble is not about passive formalities or soft statements. We believe in action. In resilience. And rewriting history from the perspective of the artist, the survivor, not the victor.
How do we do that? Through dialogue, research, exploration and education. In short, we want to change the way people think about dance. It’s political.
