ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS MODERN JIVE (12th MARCH)

SIMPLE SEQUENCE WORKSHOP (21st MARCH)

BALLROOM Leading/Following Workshop(11th APR)

SIMPLE SEQUENCE SUNDAY WORKSHOP - SUNDAY 21st MARCH 2.30 - 4.30

Learn the most popular sequence dances in a series of workshops designed to get you joining in with those

sequence dances that are so popular! They are both easy to learn and fun to do, and the class will be relaxed and easy-going.

This workshop will revisit the some previously taught dances, teach some different ones

Quickstep. Tea and chocolate biscuits will be served.

Future classes will feature different dances so that you will soon be able to dance them all!

LEADING & FOLLOWING, TIMING & STYLING - NEW BALLROOM WORKSHOP! - SUNDAY 11th APRIL

COME ALONG TO THIS BRAND NEW WORKSHOP and learn how to be the perfect dance partner! Learn how to lead ballroom dancing

and how to follow; how to stand correctly, how to hold comfortably; how to move well; and if you want to, pick up some hints on technique

to make your dancing better on all levels! Simply learn how to look and feel better on the dance floor and let dancing be an utter pleasure

- no matter how many / few steps you know / use!

Although this information is always given in class, sometimes there's too much focus on getting the steps right - so here is an opportunity

to concentrate on how to do it better, using steps that you are already familiar with.

Please let me know if you are interested - this will be on Sunday afternoon (11th April) and will run for 2 hours (cost £6.50) - if you do not

have a partner please let me know and I'll see if I can pair you up with someone else on their own.

PRIVATE LESSONS (at SPOONER ROW)

If you feel your dancing could do with some individual attention, why not have a private lesson? These cost £25.00 per hour (pro rata)

for social and medal dancers (professionals cost more) and come in half hour, three quarter hour or hour-long slots. They are for up to

4 people, but you only pay the rate shown above and divide the cost between you! If you have a problem, have a private lesson to sort it!

MASSAGE FOR BEGINNERS - workshop

Nothing to do with dancing! If you would like to know how to give a "proper" upper back, neck and shoulder

massage to family and friends (not as a qualified therapist!) - this workshop will teach you how. Designed for

both complete beginners and those who would like a refresher, it will give you the chance to both give and

receive a massage under direct tuition and supervision.

It will be a relaxing and fun 3 hours - you will need a partner for this and bookings are being taken now.

The cost is £15.00 which is cheaper than going for a shoulder and neck massage!
