Free dancing

There's more to life than just dancing around your living room like no one's watching, and it can be found at Howick Leisure Centre. Head to East Auckland for an hour of poppin' it like it's hot, shaking your groove thang, or whatever you choose to call it. Make sure you wear something that doesn't rip from the seams with your moves, and just let the mix of 80s, 90s, 00s and beyond take you - whatever your age.

August 3, 8pm-9pm, Howick Leisure Centre, 563 Pakuranga Rd, Howick. Entry is free.

Cello charms

International cellist Daniel Yeadon will join the national baroque orchestra, NZ Barok, for a concert to celebrate the charms of the string instrument. The concert will include Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major, performed for the first time in New Zealand on period instruments. It will be the first time the orchestra performs in Wellington, with a programme that also features works by CPE Bach, WF Bach, and Mozart.

August 6, 7.30pm and August 7, 2pm, St Luke's Church, Remuera. See nzbarok.org.nz for details, tickets from iticket.co.nz.

Late chat

Smart talks will keep the museum open late this spring, with the Auckland War Memorial Museum's annual LATE programme returning for its ninth season in partnership with Metro magazine. There will be four curated evening events with discussions on food inequality, feminist theory, web activism and the relationship of musicians to their fans, featuring special guests, live performances, food, drinks and special late-night exhibition openings.

August 9, September 5, October 11 and November 7. Tickets $20 or $70 for the season at aucklandmuseum.com/late or ph. (09) 306 7048.
