Afternoon Workshops and Party with Hamish Fernando & Alissa Cleo

04/04/2025

Workshops / Courses

Hamish Fernando (Sydney) & Alissa Cleo (Agua! Cuban Dance Perth) will lead an afternoon workshop series that will focus on body movement, musicality, and the ability to add pauses and playfulness to your dance.

While most classes focus on specific figures, we want to empower students to feel the music and dance in between the complex figures. When we can enjoy and be creative with our movement in each moment, every dance can become a great experience even when you are just doing the basic steps. Let’s play and connect!

Front man C Major (Carlos Velazquez) dominates the stage with charisma and flawless vocals, adding his own mix of RnB, Pop, Neo-Soul and authentic Latin Sonero traditions. C Major was seen on The Voice Australia and mentored by Latino Superstar Ricky Martin and Pop icon Will.i.am.
