    Instagram…boo boo Ballroom

    One of Antony’s lessons came in this week and complained that she couldn’t get a CoCoMelon song (a kid’s animation series) out of her head, thanks to one of her nieces.

    Naturally this lead to Antony finding the offending song in question on Spotify, determining that you could Viennese Waltz to it, and then proceeding to whirl them round the room!

    We’re not sure that was what they had in mind…😂 


    Friday Tea Dances Cancelled

    Cherry Orchard Dance Studio Venue Hire Interior Panoramic

    Today (Friday 27th September) will be our final Friday afternoon tea dance. Whilst, over the course of the year, these sessions have covered their costs this is not sustainable long-term.

    We have made the decision then to cancel the Friday sessions. Monday tea dances will continue as normal as these are well supported.

    We apologise to those students who are only able to attend on a Friday afternoon.

    Tom will be opening up his diary for more private lessons on Friday afternoons.

    UPDATE: CORRECTED TO REMOVE “NOT THIS WEEK” REFERENCES FROM LAST WEEK

    News and Notices

    Instagram…first love

    Just over a year ago a young couple came to us with a handful of Strictly and Dancing With The Stars clips, and a dream to perform a similarly styled routine for their wedding first dance.

    We started them off with learning the basic Waltz (and in fact Antony came up with a new way of teaching Waltz & Viennese Waltz to our beginners off the back of it!). As time went on we started putting together their wedding dance, and a number of highlight moments were introduced. You can enjoy one of them below:


    Parking Tickets Possible

    Cherry Orchard Dance Studio Exterior Car Parking

    It has come to our attention that the new parking restrictions came into force early by mistake. We have seen reports that dog walkers have been receiving tickets from the week of 26th August.

    Hopefully all our students entered their number plates in the tablet, however if you do find yourself with a ticket you will need to contact Burnham Parish Council to have it cancelled.

    Please forward any tickets received, for the period 26/8-31/8, to assistantclerk@burnhamparish.gov.uk and they will get them cancelled.

    A reminder to ALWAYS enter your number plate in the parking tablet as we cannot guarantee that we will be able to cancel an issued ticket, though we will always do our best.


    Beginner Bachata Course

    four individual shots of dancers doing the beginner Bachata steps, but danced in a circle and switching partners. Images 2 & 4 are in black and white

    In case you missed it, Antony was in last week’s My Weekly providing some insight on the Strictly training scandal.

    Don’t worry if you missed it, we got a few copies! 😂


    No Daytime Sessions

    Cherry Orchard Dance Studio Venue Hire Interior Panoramic

    For reasons we are not publicly allowed to discuss the studio will be unavailable during the day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this coming week.

    This means there will be no tea dances on Monday or Friday, and no FitSteps or daytime classes on Wednesday.

    No other classes are affected.

    It is likely, though not confirmed, that Monday sessions could be affected for a number of weeks and we are awaiting confirmation.


    Parking Update

    A reminder that from Sunday 1st September new parking regulations are in force at the Cherry Orchard.

    All students will need to enter their number plates in the tablet to validate their parking when they arrive, as there is only 30 minutes of free parking otherwise.

    Parking will still be free for all Learn To Dance students as long as you register your plate.


    Beginner Jive Course

    There will be a beginner Jive course (triple-step not Rock and Roll) starting from Sunday 8th September at 6pm.

    The four week course costs £35pp and is available to book now.

    To reserve a space for another person please visit the Full Booking System.


    Quickstep Course

    Black & white picture of dancers on our Glastonbury dance break weekend.

    We will have a 6-week Quickstep course starting from Monday 9th September.

    The course will start with a focus on the basics, and improving your technique, before moving on to a variety of figures for navigating the floor.

    The course costs £50pp and is available to book now. To reserve a space for another person please visit the Full Booking System.


    BRAND NEW Improver Level 3

    Banner advertising our brand new improver level 3 classes

    We’re increasing the level of our Wednesday night classes and introducing a BRAND NEW improver level 3 class from Wednesday 11th September.

    The 8pm class will increase to Improver Level 2, and the original 9pm Level 2 will increase to a new Level 3. All still cover Bronze level steps.

    Foxtrot American Smooth Course

    We will be continuing with the theme of American Smooth in September, this time focusing on the Foxtrot.

    With this course we will show you a number of moves and figures that you can introduce into your regular Foxtrot (or entirely in place of) to get around the floor with some added pizazz!
