About Our Challenge

At E&A Dance Studio, dance has always been about more than steps, medals, or performances. It’s about confidence, connection, community, and looking after both our physical and mental wellbeing.

In New Zealand, 1 in 5 New Zealanders experience mental health challenges each year. For many people, reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, whether it’s due to financial pressures, not knowing where to go, or simply being afraid to talk to anyone about how they’re really feeling.

We are incredibly fortunate to be in a position where we can access mental health support when needed, and that access has been genuinely life-changing for us. Not everyone has that same opportunity, and that’s something we feel strongly about helping to change.

That’s why we’re taking on the Push-Up Challenge, completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days (5–27 February) to raise funds and awareness for mental health.

Dance teaches resilience, discipline, and self-belief, but behind the smiles and performances, dancers of all ages face pressure, self-doubt, and emotional challenges. Mental health matters in our dance community just as much as anywhere else.

By supporting this challenge, you’re helping the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand continue providing education, resources, and support so more people feel supported, understood, and empowered to seek help.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Thank you for supporting E&A Dance and standing with us for mental health, on and off the dance floor 💛

Supporting Mental Health Foundation

Funds raised will invested by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand [The MHF] in three core areas of mahi:

  • Promoting everyday actions that lift mental wellbeing
  • Providing tools that support people through tough times
  • Advocating for a better mental health system and society

With your tautoko/support, we can build a fairer, more connected Aotearoa where everyone’s mental health is valued and protected.

Whāia te hauora hinengaro kia puāwai ai te hauora tangata - there is no health without mental health.
