​

Oasis came about in December 2008 when Kelley realised that many people do not have access to either a trained FCBD® certified teacher or fellow dancers nearby. Every few months she teaches informal workshops, often followed by an evening get together, where students, teachers, Certified Studios from the UK and Europe come together to dance, practise, share ideas and catch up with each other, usually around the fire pit or in the infamous barn!

​

Today it has evolved into an extended worldwide tribal family which, since the Covid 19 pandemic, uses Zoom to get together online.

Each 2 hour online workshop  is one of a series of intensives covering all aspects of FCBD®style from technique and performance skills to musicality and complicated concepts like Duelling Duets and café style but they all happen in real time. 

Kelley does not record her workshops because she feels passionately that it is important to dance and interact together as it happens. Using available technology to create a positive interactive experience which is as near to 'real-life' as possible we are able to dance in duets, trios and quartets and work together in groups. We may be dancing at home but we are not doing it alone. So take some time out just for you and come along to a fun workshop every few months and just dance your socks off for two whole hours.
