WHAT'S ON
|
|
BRAND NEW BEGINNERS
EVENING - BALLROOM / LATIN / MODERN JIVE - MONDAY NIGHTS
|
|
This is a new concept in beginners classes - one hour each of
ballroom, latin and modern jive! You can choose
|
|
to do any or all of the classes and they are for complete
beginners - the aim is to teach you to get on the
|
|
floor confidently in your chosen dances!
|
|
The Ballroom hour at 7pm, the Latin hour at 8pm and the Modern Jive hour at
9pm.
|
|
Each class covers basic moves in depth; in the ballroom hour we
cover the Waltz, Quickstep and
Social Foxtrot;
|
|
in the Latin, we learn Rumba, Cha Cha Cha and
Rock Jive,
and in the Modern Jive, we will go
through all the
|
|
basic moves to enable you to dance at parties and dances!
|
|
The price is really attractive! Each class costs £4.25, 2
classes costs £8.00 but you can get all 3 for just £10.00!
|
|
YOU DON'T NEED A PARTNER for
any of the classes - simply turn up!
|
|
NB There will be no
class on 30th August (Bank Holiday) - normal classes resume
on 6th September

NEXT
MEDAL TEST - 21st NOVEMBER at SPOONER ROW
|
|
Those of you who would like to take a
medal for Modern Jive, please speak to Sandra or John.
|
|
Medals are taken through the
I.D.T.A. (International Dance Teachers Association) and an external examiner
|
|
comes to assess and mark
candidates.
|
|
Medals are fun to take as well as
giving you something to work towards and be justly proud of achieving! At
|
|
the
lower grades the work done in the beginner classes
is sufficient to dance, as the emphasis is on timing and
|
|
style rather than
quantity or difficulty value of
steps/figures. Everyone starts with the basic Social Dance
|
|
Award before progressing (with permission!) through Bronze, Bronze 2, Silver,
Silver 2, and so on to Gold
|
|
(and beyond!). You can choose to dance with
John or Sandra, and it is arranged that you are not the
only ones
|
|
dancing on the floor - you will always have another couple on
the floor taking their test at the same time, so
|
|
that you don't know which candidate the examiner is watching at any one time -
takes the pressure off! Don't
|
|
forget
- ladies can take their medals as a man dancer as well (where you
are judged on your leading skills as
|
|
well as your dancing). Although they have a serious side (as
you must be good enough to be entered to avoid
|
|
the risk of failure!!) they
are fun to do and do develop your dancing
skills. Consider taking one this time!
|
|
|
|
PRIVATE LESSONS -
available at Spooner Row
|
|
If you feel you would
like some personal tuition to help your dancing, private lessons are
always an option.
|
|
They are available in 30 minute, 45
minute or 1 hour slots at a rate of £13.00 per half hour. This is for up
to 4
|
|
people.
|
|
It can really help to
have individual attention for any problem areas - why not consider one!
|
|
|
|
DOUBLE TROUBLE
WORKSHOP- IMPROVERS
|
|
This workshop will offer
more moves for a man with 2 ladies! It will be a routine of more advanced
moves (not
|
|
too difficult!) which will look good on any
dance floor - price £6.25 - this will take place sometime in the summer
|
|
and will be suitable for anyone who can already
dance "twosies" or who has been to the beginners workshop
