Our Quickstep dance weekend break will take place at The Wessex Hotel near Glastonbury from 10th-12th March 2023. 

On this popular annual dance weekend we focus on a single dance in our workshops, including an optional technique class.

There will be a 2 hour Quickstep workshop on the Saturday morning of the dance weekend that starts with a simple sequence. We then build up so it gets progressively harder and students can stop if they feel they have reached their limit, and just practice what they’ve learnt up to that point.

On the Sunday morning we have a recap workshop to help solidify what you have learnt. Sometimes we may even throw in some bonus moves too!

Both nights of the break will feature a mixture of Ballroom and Latin American dancing, along with select sequence dances.

The Quickstep dance weekend (2 nights) costs £185 per person and this includes dinner, bed and breakfast.

All prices are based on 2 sharing a room. There is a £50 single room supplement (although we have 3 rooms without supplement available) but we have extremely limited solo spaces.

The Quickstep dance weekend will include:

• check in from 3pm on the Friday
• 3 course meal each evening
• breakfast on Saturday and Sunday
• Quickstep dance workshop on the Saturday and Sunday mornings
• ‘Improve your Quickstep’ technique class Saturday afternoon (£5 supplement)
• ‘Charleston’ theme on the Saturday night

On our Bournemouth dance weekend back in October 2013 we had a ‘Guys and Molls’ themed evening and you can see the outfits students wore below.

Next year’s booking system has been updated and you can now book onto our classes, workshops or events throughout 2022.

Both Denise’s and Antony’s private lesson diaries are now live and Tom will be rejoining us in 2022 too. His diary availability is just being confirmed and will be available to book soon. However it will be Mondays during the day, Thursday mornings and Friday lunchtimes.

Whilst the dance studio may be closed for Christmas you are still able to purchase gift vouchers for friends & family. The easiest way to do this is via our the gift card section of our website. Learn to Dance gift vouchers can be sent directly to their email address, or to yourself to print off and put in a card.

However a reminder that to redeem a gift card balance they would need to visit our full booking system or contact us.

Remember that email is the best way to get hold of us whilst the dance studio is closed for Christmas. We will be checking the studio answer machine over the Christmas break, but infrequently.

Friday S.M.I.L.E. classes to return

Our Friday afternoon S.M.I.L.E. (So Much Improvement for Little Effort) classes are finally scheduled to return from Friday 7th January 2022. These will be in the new Braywick Leisure Centre in Maidenhead. The classes will be headed by Tom on a weekly basis.

These are currently planned to run to the same schedule as our other weekly classes. This means they will recommence looking at Quickstep & Cha Cha Cha.

The class will run from 2pm-3.45pm, with a break halfway through, and bookings are made directly with the Leisure Centre. Prices will be £4.50 per person, with an Advantage Card, or £7.20 without.

Is COVID going to keep the dance studio closed past Christmas?

As it currently stands we do not expect the dance studio to need to remain closed past the Christmas break.

Reports we are now seeing suggest that Omicron is proving to be milder and therefore no further restrictions are hopefully required.

However we all know things can change at short notice. We will keep everyone updated should any changes be required.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Finally let us wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2022.
