As of Monday night, monthly passes will be available for sale at the door at all classes during the week. If you're hanging for a dance after the Christmas break, then this is the way to go to get your dancing fill. Passes will be on sale for $70 and are valid at any Le Step Venue in Queensland! You can dance at least 4 nights a week so it's a bargain!

Dancing is also a good way to get "out and about". Anyone who comes dancing will meet new people, learn a great life skill, socialise and get fit all at the same time.

Le Step on the Coast also offer gift vouchers for Beginner and Intermediate DVD's so they can learn in their own home. We also have Multi-class Passes for the socially conscious.

If any of these things appeal to you and you'd like to discuss it more, give the office a call on 5591 9170 or email GoldCoast@lestep.com.au
