Michelle Garvey

Stars of Penrith 2025

⭐ Meet Michelle Garvey ⭐

I have lost too many people and know too many people who have been struck by Cancer. I am

lucky enough to be healthy. I don't have loads of money, but I know I can give my time.

I am joining Stars because I am a tad crazy! Apparently Mum of 2, step mum of 3, Nana of 1, two jobs and a Wife is just not enough!

I don't have real dance experience, but I am a Zumba instructor. Please don't assume this means I can dance...I make the rules in Zumba, I don't follow someone else’s.

I've lived in the Penrith area most of my life. Born at Nepean Hospital, school at Kingswood High. Currently living in Glenwood.

I want to do all that I can to raise money for Cancer Council. I am excited to get all dressed up and learn new things as well as making new friends.

Michelle will be dancing with Racquel Holmes from LKM Performing Arts, taking on the Hip Hop style.

My Updates

The Countdown is on…

4 rehearsals done now and SO many practice sessions at home. 
I think I have the moves…if we could slow down the music a bit! I am so worried I’ll make a fool of myself…not in a good way! 
Thanks to all my supporters so far! I appreciate you all

First Lesson 08/01

Today I made the 50 minute trek up the mountains to have my first dance lesson with Racquel. 
What was I worried about? 
Am I too old for this? On the flip side, what if Racquel just assumes I’m old and not game to try pretty much anything?
Am I fit enough for this? Am I going to be able to keep up?
Hmmm…so some fears were confirmed…I may not be too old but my body thinks I am! Racquel now knows I’m “a cool Nana” and up to give anything a go, am I fit enough? Probably… and if not I soon will be. 
I’m looking forward to next week when we put done more fabulous moves together. 
Please donate, it’s such an amazing and worthy cause
