Where We’re Going
One of the best parts of this dance is that it's always taking us somewhere new.
Sometimes that's a weekly class. Sometimes it's a festival, a performance, or a weekend spent dancing alongside old friends and new ones.
This is where you'll find our upcoming classes, performances, workshops, festivals, and community events. Whether you'd like to dance with us, come cheer us on, or invite us to be part of something you're creating, we'd love to see you along the way.
Whether you're joining a class, cheering from the audience, or looking for partners for your next event, we'd love to meet you somewhere along the journey.
💜 Weekly Classes
FCBD® Style Foundations
New session coming soon!
Oct 26 – Nov 30, 2026
📍 MSD Irish Dance Studio • Spokane Valley, WA
Our first session was such a hit, that we are back to sling more hips for a second session! During these weekly classes, students are building a strong foundation in FCBD® Style while learning the shared movement vocabulary that makes synchronized group improvisation so special.
Our next Foundations session will begin in October and registration will open later in September 2026
💜 Special Event!
I had been invited to join DeAnna Freeman for a podcast episode with FCBDU! We talked about what it means to be a new teacher in this artform and the road I took in getting here.
