About Tru Luv Club
Our Vision
We envision a world where people - especially queer and marginalised communities - are free to live in alignment with their joy, their bodies, and the earth.
A world where self-love is a birthright, not a luxury, and where people thrive through connection, creativity, and community.
Our Mission
Tru luv for body, self, community.
To build a community where like-minded people connect through movement, joy, and creativity. To create spaces where people feel safe to express themselves and reclaim their power, their truth, and step into love.
DANCE
Dance is an act of joyful rebellion. All bodies and abilities are welcome. Dance is for everyone to play, to slay and feel the joy of moving to music with others. Everyone can perform and be a star. We are an anti-hierarchical dance school and actively foster body-love and each person’s unique flavour of expression through dance and performance.
YOGA
In a world where people can so easily feel disconnected from their bodies, from each other and from purpose; Yoga is needed now more than ever. Our yoga offerings are for all abilities, so come as you are and meet yourself where you are at.
As we move the body with breath, we learn to listen to our bodies as well as to respect and honour them. As our practice deepens, we gain more strength, flexibility and mobility in body, mind and heart.
We strive to practice and teach authentic yoga that honours Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga which encompasses not only the physical (asana) practice, but pranayama (breath work), meditation and philosophy.
PARTY
The sanctity of the queer club is being threatened and we need these spaces now more than ever. Our events foster radical queer self-expression and uplift marginalised voices. They are a place to gather and be free for queer people and those that love them. The club is our church, the dance floor is where we worship, the performers and DJs are our guides.
Hi, I’m Keely.
My pronouns are she/they.
I love yoga and dance. Both of these practices have been so deeply transformative to me.
As a neurodivergent person, yoga helps me to steady my busy mind and to connect to my truth in a world that wasn’t built for me. Yoga helps make my body, mind and heart strong.
As a queer woman, dance has helped me to find confidence in taking up space and expressing my true self. I love that as well as helping me stay physically fit, dance is a creative practice and is inherently joyful and playful.
I created Tru Luv Club so that we can share the medicine of movement together. I want everyone to feel welcome to join our non-exclusive club!
A bit about my background…
I grew up in a country town without access to dance/yoga classes or queer community, so ever since I moved to Melbourne in 2009, I’ve been making up for lost time!
I am a self-taught and community-taught dancer who loves to help beginner dancers unlock the language of dance.
I travelled to India extensively to study yoga and I truly practice yoga as a way of life, not just an exercise class!
I have always been interested in creativity and wellbeing. I have a Master of Arts Therapy and have a decade’s worth of experience in mental health work.
When I’m not running Tru Luv Club, you might find me performing on stage as my drag king persona, Dazza from Dazza and Keif or running the monthly queer party, Beers for Queers or hanging out with my rescue pigeon, Juni, and helping out some of her pigeon friends.
