CANCELLED - House Party: A Groove Train Dance Workshop Hosted by The Soul Council

All aboard for a soulful journey through the moves that made the MTV generation!

This workshop is a fun, all-levels session to explore iconic street dance styles from Soul Train to the golden age of hip-hop and beyond. 

Explore the moves shaped by music’s biggest icons as they brought the party from the streets and dance halls to living rooms, house parties and into the hearts of a generation. 

Disco, funk and hip-hop hits are your ticket to ride. Let your body and soul groove, get down and have a damn good time as you learn, dance, play, sweat and smile like you just put on your favourite mixtape.

Perfect for all curious rug-cutters. If you’re ready for a feel-good dance adventure, be there. Your ride awaits!
