Helsinki City
In August Helsinki, Finland's capital on the Baltic Sea, still enjoys mellow temperatures (22°C/ 72°F) and sunlight practically around the clock. Classes will be held within a very short walking distance to the market square, and the shopping district as well as Helsinki harbour where ferries leave for Stockholm, Tallinn and nearby islands.

Feet Beat welcomes you to experience the Feet Fusion and the Beat of Helsinki City - a week of tap and rhythms in Helsinki!
