MEET NATHAN

DJ/ Choreographer / Teacher

When I was quite young I would take every opportunity to sing and dance and be silly. But when I hit 11 or 12 I became afraid of what others might think of my 'bright side'. I eventually learned that my brightness was what made me the man I am. I made a choice to lean into it. And for 20 years I've been helping others lean into it too.

Nathan Short the teacher and creator of Brightness

How it works

A Brightness class goes for 45 mins. The focus is on high energy thoughtful movement which builds towards a performance at the end of each term. Classes are capped at 15 for better behaviour, better coaching and deeper learning. Brightness is accessible — no experience needed, no pressure to be “cool”, and every boy is coached from where he’s at. Everyone is invited to share and create.
