Crystal Ballroom is a ballroom and social dance studio on Marshall Road, Malaga, led by principals Richard and Julie Morrissey. Adults learn waltz, cha-cha, slow rhythm and other social dances in an eight-week Wednesday evening course from 7pm, followed by a social dance until 9.30pm, for $120. People can come solo or with a partner. Kids classes run Saturday mornings at $15 a week, and private lessons, competition coaching and wedding dance packages are also offered.

A Finnish sauna house on Erindale Road, grown out of a mobile sauna that spent a couple of years touring Perth before settling into a permanent room. Sessions are built around aufguss — a facilitator working steam and scent through the sauna in rounds — with hot and cold magnesium plunge pools alongside, and a separate private room for anyone who would rather do sauna and ice bath alone. Physiotherapy and massage are booked from the same room, and the lounge runs group classes and events.
