Instagram…world of pure imagination

After getting a great last minute deal on some tickets we decided to take the kids to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory The Musical at the New Wimbledon Theatre last night.

It was a great night with some interesting effects used to recreate some of the set pieces from the original film. Thankfully the kids fell asleep on the way home!

Tango Serida Workshop & Social

Our next sequence dance workshop and social will be the Tango Serida on Sunday 25th June.

These workshops teach the sequence dance, normally between 30-45 minutes (unless it’s Argentine Stroll!), and then are followed up by social ballroom, Latin and sequence dancing.

The session lasts for 2 hours and includes free tea & coffee.

Introducing Bachata

In our quest to make sure that you can dance to ANY piece of music we are introducing a new dance, the Bachata.

This will come in for all classes this week, except for the Sunday night, Monday night and Wednesday afternoon classes (which will still do Merengue).

Bachata, like Merengue, hails from the Dominican Republic but has a more free-flowing rhythm.

We look forward to introducing you to this fun dance. Going forward the final dance in our rotation will cycle between Merengue, Mambo, and Bachata for all classes except those listed above which will still be Merengue.

Jive & Waltz Course Extensions

Our One Dance Courses in both Waltz & Jive will be extended for an additional 6 weeks.

Those who have attended the previous 6 weeks, or are at least Improver 2 level, are welcome to sign up for the extensions.

Courses cost £45 per person and you can book below (to reserve a space for another person please visit the full booking system).

June Social Dance

Looking for a chance to practice what you’ve been learning in classes? Our next social dance is on Friday 30th June.

The social runs from 7.30pm-10pm and costs £8 per person.

You are welcome to bring your own drinks and nibbles.

Latest Instagram…Tarantula Taming!

Whilst searching for things to do with the kids over the Easter Holidays, Antony found One World Animals doing an event in Amersham earlier today. The session offered an exotic animals ‘meet & greet’. Not only did we get to meet a variety of lizards, snakes, turtles and birds, but also this cute and cuddly little fellow…

This will be in part a celebration of the upcoming coronation so we will have a red/white/blue theme.

Our Dinner & Dance is already over 40% sold out so book now and join us on another sell-out event!

School Closed Over Coronation Weekend

The school will be closed over the Coronation Weekend, Saturday 6th-Sunday 7th May.

We do have our Spring Dinner & Dance on Friday 5th May, in part celebrating the King’s Coronation the next day.

Waltz & Jive Courses

Our current Quickstep & Cha Cha Cha courses are coming to an end next month and making way for new courses.

We will have a Jive course starting from Wednesday 17th May, and a Waltz course from Monday 22nd May.

The courses cost £45pp for a 6 week block, and the courses are extended as long as enough students wish to continue.

Spring Exam Session

Twice a year we hold exam sessions under the National Association of Teachers of Dancing (NATD).

Exams are available for all age groups and abilities, with Rainbows for our under 8s all the way up to President’s Awards.

Our next exam session takes place on Sunday 21st May and there is still time to start working towards your first exam.

Just let us know if you are interested and we can go over all the details with you.

Change to Socials

Our Friday socials will no longer take place on the last Friday of every month. Instead they will run every two months, so long as there isn’t a special event taking place that month.

Due to this change the pre-social workshop would only actually occur twice a year, and so we have made the decision to drop them and instead start those socials at 7.30pm.

Special events (Dinner & Dances, Parties etc.) will continue to start at 7pm. Our next Friday social event will be our Anniversary Party on Friday 28th April.
