What You May Have Missed

Flavia Cacace Workshops

Back in February we were honoured to welcome Strictly Legend Flavia Cacace to our dance studio for an afternoon of Argentine Tango workshops.

It was a really fun and informative afternoon and you can see a highlight reel on our Instagram page (full gallery to be uploaded).

Next up is Kristina Rihanoff in May for a morning of Latin American dance workshops!

We hope to have Erin Boag revisit us in November and we should have confirmation of this next month.

Glastonbury Dance Weekend

Our ever-popular Glastonbury Dance Weekend was a great success, with some wonderful Bollywood themed outfits for the Saturday night.

Coupled with that we had put together a great Cha Cha Cha routine that started simple(ish) enough, before progressing to a tricky but fun routine.

Our Bournemouth Dance weekend in October is available to book now.

Good Friday Afternoon Tea

On Friday 29th March we held our annual Good Friday Afternoon Tea.

This gave us the perfect opportunity to try out some five-tier cake stands we’d purchased, and given the amount of food our caterer provided I’m glad we did!

It was a wonderful start to the Easter weekend and we look forward to our next catered event, our Spring dinner & dance in May.

Relaunch of YouTube lessons

Emma and Antony have relaunched their YouTube video lessons, and yes with the unavoidable outtakes at the end of each video too!

Starting initially with companion videos to our Beginner Waltz course we plan to expand into other lessons as time allows.

You can check out our Beginner Waltz lessons playlist, or if you want to check out our channel you can find us at YouTube.com/learndance.

The Ballroom Dance Social takes place on Saturday 27th November 2021 at Potters International Hotel. We will also cost up arranging transport from the Cherry Orchard if there is enough interest.

The evening includes dance instruction (not provided by Learn To Dance) as well as a dance demonstration.

This is a great opportunity to dance Ballroom & Latin American to a live band. Especially as they have extensive experience in playing Ballroom & Latin American strict tempo.

Our dance social, originally scheduled to take place on Friday 26th November, will now take place on 19th November.

About Simply Swing Band & Singers

Simply Swing can boast band members who have performed in the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing live television band, The International Ballroom Dance Championships at The Royal Albert Hall and The UK Open Championships at The Bournemouth International Centre. They were also the resident band for the afternoon tea dances at The Sheraton, Park Lane.

The band plays strict tempo music for Ballroom & Latin American Dancing, and have a huge and varied REPERTOIRE from the 1920’s right up to the present day; reworking the classic pop standards of yesterday for a modern day audience.

How Much Are Tickets and what time is the Live Band Ballroom Dance Social?

Tickets are £30 in advance and we have reserved a number of tables for our students.

Doors open at 7pm with dancing from 8pm-11pm.
