Barefoot Flamenco in Studio and at the Beach!

Kick off your shoes and enjoy a flowing class set to beautiful music that incorporates upper body flamenco technique, short combinations, body percussion, stretching and much more. Experience the unique candle-lit atmosphere, where you can “dance like nobody is watching”. Some props such as fans and shawls may also be incorporated. Weather permitting, we run our Saturday morning classes at South Beach in South Fremantle. New comers are welcome. You will need to bring a towel or yoga mat for the stretching and relaxation part at the end.

”BFF” students say that this class leaves them feeling relaxed and yet invigorated.
