Rhiannon has a gift for making dance fun for all ages. The class can accommodate up to 18 students, and it’s recommended that you wear tight, flexible clothes and appropriate footwear (socks, ballet shoes, or Jazz shoes). The class is in Curl Curl, but Rhiannon can also travel up fo 30km to meet you where you’re most comfortable! • Rumba Fit Dance Class If you’re looking for something more akin to an extreme workout class, head on over to Alexandria for a fun Rumba class. Rumba is a style of Colombian dance that pulls from Champeta, Reggaeton, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia, Africano, and Samba, and if you don’t know what any of those are, don’t worry about it. Just know that it’s upbeat, fast-paced, and lots and lots of fun. The class will start out with slowed-down instruction and then you’ll get a chance to show your stuff and work up a sweat. This one-hour class is available upon request or when classes are posted. • Bollywood Dance Class with Garima Rawat If you’ve every watched a Bollywood film, you probably thought about how cool it would be to learn the dance moves. And now, in just one hour, you can! Garima will show you the steps and have you dancing along to Bollywood music in no time! Head on over to Dulwich Hill to start enjoying Bollywood films in a new way! • Kpop Private Dance Class with Mitchel Yee Kpop is taking over the world with its captivating music and great dance moves. This one-on-one hour-long class is amazing for anyone from beginners to the more advanced who want to learn how to join the kpop craze. All that you need to do is show up with a water bottle, towel, and comfortable clothes because it will definitely be a workout. Mitchel generally holds his classes in Campsie but is willing to travel. Don’t miss out on this great workshop! • Open Hiphop Dance Lessons with Jeffery Hu Hiphop may feel like one of those things that you’re either good at or not, but Jeffery is an expert at proving that idea wrong. His engaging and pressure-free hour-long workshops allow students to find their own movement through the traditional steps of hiphop. No prior experience required. This class takes place in Campsie or within 7km. • Beginner Ballet, Tap and Contemporary Dance Workshop with Issy Wright Issy is all about helping you learn the foundations of dance in a wonderful, engaging class. From tap, lyrical, ballet or contemporary, you’ll learn the modern techniques of dance so that your dancing is always improving. This one and a half hour class takes place in North Sydney. • Basic Steps for Latin Rhythms Dance Class with Fanny Moreno Head on over to Epping to spend an hour and a half learning how to dance to Latin music with Fanny. It’s a great, friendly atmosphere where you’ll learn the basic steps to a variety of Latin-based dance styles. Classes are generally small, with no more than 5 students. • Salsa Dance Class with Connection Studios Last but not least, you’ll definitely want to check out this high-energy dance class with Connection Studios in Surry Hills. This class can get quite large, with up to 30 people, and that’s because it is two hours of pure fun.

Creative After Work Activities in Sydney
By ClassBento Team
After work drinks at the pub are great, but in an exciting young city like Sydney, there's lots more to do and explore in the evening hours especiallyAfter work drinks at the pub are great, but in an exciting young city like Sydney, there's lots more to do and explore in the evening hours especially if you're in need of rainy day activities in Sydney. Thanks to our local artists, who are willing to share their passion and expertise, we've got a huge variety of secret and less known things to do in Sydney this weekend. Creative workshops are lots of fun, relaxing, and can help you take a real mental break from the stresses of work and beyond, as well as encouraging you to maintain a better balance against digital addictions (aka a great way to start/stay on digital detox). Do something social - go out with some friends or your other half, or take the opportunity to build relationships with some colleagues or clients. Why not meet some like-minded friends-to-be (and maybe even a potential special someone)? Avoid getting stuck and wasting time in peak hour traffic. Take some time for yourself and zen out, and by the time you're done, all those commuters will be gone and you'll have a much smoother and easier time home. #travelhacks Our teachers are flexible and love to teach, so you're welcome to Request an after-hours workshop. Whether you're in Redfern, Marrickville, Rozelle or elsewhere, we'll have a creative class close to you. And if you'd like to spend some time after your usual work hours teaching and getting some additional income, we'd love to hear from you. Here are some of our favourites: Make a Kokedama or terrarium, in a beautiful Redfern floristry Draw a portrait, perhaps of someone you know (or keep it safe and do something more neutral), under the guidance of a professional illustrator Indulge in cheese, wine... and art of course, in a cozy Rozelle studio. Laugh, chat and create, with a talented artist Learn to make proper coffee in a barista or espresso class, or even jazz it up with a latte art class, with a world champion barista. Get physical and learn to juggle in one of Sydney's beautiful parks (perfect for those longer summer evenings). Take a photography class and develop both your technical skills as well as your artistic approach, with an experienced photographer (smartphones or DSLRs both welcome), in the gorgeous surroundings of The Rocks. It's a perfect time to hone your low-light / night photography skills in particular. ...
