Sharing the joy of dance
Free Spirit is closing down
Free Spirit is closing down.
It is the end of an era. With many of the long (and a couple of the longest!) serving committee members stepping down, the Free Spirit Dance Community Inc will be closing our metaphorical and sequined doors at the end of 2024. With the decline in volunteering across all industries, lacklustre support for events and rising costs, the future of Free Spirit has become untenable. However, we have decided to go out with a bang with two final events - The Marsalama (farewell) Hafla and The Last Hurrah Members' Christmas Party.
We would like to invite everyone, past and present, near and far, member and non-member, performer and audience to come along and help celebrate the end of an era with us.
Free Spirit first started in the early 2000s, was incorporated as a non-profit association in 2010 and has been a vibrant community of dancers, musicians, artists and friends over the years. We would like to pass on our huge thanks to the many volunteers, performers, helpers and supporters who made the community such an inclusive and welcoming circle. An especial thanks to all the members of the Free Spirit Committee for leading, nurturing and representing the beautiful dancers of WA and the art form that brings us all such joy.
Thank you to everyone for being part of the Free Spirit Journey and we hope you come to celebrate with us and share a final memory of Free Spirit.
The Free Spirit Dance Community supports local dance teachers, using local community facilities to offer affordable dance classes in a variety of styles from traditional Middle Eastern Dance, Tribal-style bellydance and other fusion dance styles. We currently have teachers in Bibra Lake, Wellard and Heathridge.

Free Spirit is run by a dedicated band of unpaid volunteers who donate their time to make the Perth dance community more connected, friendly and work to promote the benefits of dance, belonging and more.
