CLASSES

★ WEEKLY SPRINGWOOD DRUM CLASS

This is a fun, hands-on drum class open to all ages and levels.

No previous experience is necessary and drums provided, if needed. Each participant plays their own drum, and we learn a series of drum parts, breaks and rhythms. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a focus on learning in a relaxed, fun environment.

We spend a few weeks learning each rhythm so there's time to absorb and enjoy the beautiful parts and phrases.

★ WEEKLY KATOOMBA DANCE CLASS

★ WEEKLY SPRINGWOOD DANCE CLASS

Hands Heart & Feet are passionate about creating inclusive, expressive community spaces, where every body is embraced - regardless of age, shape, ability or otherwise. We cultivate an atmosphere that is welcoming, creative and full of joy.
