Fabrice and Geraldine

We are happy to invite Fabrice and Geraldine from Toulouse in France back to Stavanger in 2011. They are widely known as the star couple of many International Festivals. They visited us in 2008, and gave us great classes. Their mix of incredible dynamism with lots of smooth variations is something that makes them so unique. Watch them dance here.
