Point Cook dancer Florence Shinaduku has joined with Snuff Puppets to present a series of free outdoor dance classes in Wyndham.

Ms Shinaduku, assisted by the giant puppet Kelly Boom, will teach the traditional Congolese dance style ‘Mutuashi’ at locations throughout the municipality across a six-week period.

The project has been funded by a grant from Wyndham council and each dance class will be suitable for all ages and abilities.

The classes will run Saturdays at 11am, with the first two sessions to be held on January 27 and February 3 at the Wyndham Harbour, Marina Quays.

The next two sessions will be held on February 10 and 17, at the Point Cook Coastal Park, Side Entrance Road.

The final two classes will be held  on February 24 at the Werribee Pop Up Park in Station Place and March 3, at the Point Cook Pop Up Park in Murnong Street.

In case of rain or bad weather, events may be held at different locations or cancelled. Email people@snuffpuppets.com for details.
