Dancing with Active Melbourne

Laneway Learning worked with the City of Melbourne in February and March of 2015 to present four free dance classes as part of #100 Ways to Move it Melbourne! Shake your booty and dance like nobody’s watching with some retro 80s moves, some hip hop, and some Bollywood glamour.

All the classes were on Thursdays during your lunch break: 12:10pm to 12:55pm, at Shebeen.
