Julie Sidery-Wood
My family and I have been blessed to be part of the Northbridge community for nearly 28 years. After a busy corporate life in Healthcare Marketing for me, it has been the perfect place to raise a family and get involved in the local schools and community.
Currently, I'm enjoying being a regular volunteer at my local aged care home and have recently become a Movement Practitioner with "Dance Health Alliance," a not for profit organisation, running therapeutic dance programs for seniors in aged care and community centres. It’s such a rewarding role to share the joy of dance with people who thought their dancing days were behind them, while improving their physical, cognitive and social well-being all at the same time!
I took up dancing late in life, joining the mum's class at my kids local studio. Not wanting to cramp their style, (or was it them cramping mine, ) led me to Active Dance, a wonderful group of mums in Lane Cove. These days I'm dancing more than ever at G Power Dance Fitness, with a fab, mixed group between twenty and seventy plus years, which l absolutely love as it helps me to feel eighteen again, several times a week!
Through the studio, I've been supporting Stars of The North for the last couple of years, having sadly lost my dad, father-in-law and two beautiful aunties to cancer. We've also witnessed the courage and resilience of others in our extended circles on their own journey's. The decision to take to the stage myself this year though, is personal, following the recent passing of one of our dearest friends.
Embracing our 2025 motto of, “If Not Now, When?” I see this as an opportunity to honour her, our dads, and other friends and family, by doing something I love to make a difference.
I believe we can all be dancing queens, regardless of our age, ability, or experience—it’s just about having a go and some fun on the way! I couldn't think of a better way (however nerve wracking,) to raise money for this essential cause. Thank you for your support!
