News 19th October 2010

What's happening....
The sun has finally come out - so it's time to get out and enjoy your nights.
Last week we had fantastic atmosphere at classes with over 50 again this Monday and 145 last Wednesday.

TRY A FRIDAY FREE
It was great to see a number of new people at Weller's Hill on Friday but we figured a few people stayed away due to the rain. With that in mind, we are going to run another 'Open Night' this Friday night. In fact, we're running a promotion till then end of October.... bring your non-dancing friends to Le Step this month and they'll get their first class totally FREE.
So why try a Friday? There's the option of having dinner at the club plus there's a bar. And with lots of new people attending on the same night it puts new dancers at ease knowing they are not the only 'newbies' in the class.

Give a friend a FREE class.
For a limited time only, we are giving you the chance to give a friend a totally free class.*

Our suggestion is to show your friends how to do the basic back and forward stepping but not worry about teaching them any moves.
Boys step R,L,R,L. Girls step L,R,L,R.

* Conditions:
'1st Night Free' promo offer available to people who are not already Le Step members.
Offer valid for the next two weeks only. (Fri 29th Oct)

If you want to email or facebook your friends, include this link to our web site.
This page will tell your friends more about Le Step - http://www.lestep.com.au/Newsletter_20101019_Bris_FREE

This will also be sent to you in a separate email that you can forward directly on to your friends.

Mondays - parking arrangements
Monday nights are looking great at the moment but the car park is not looking great at all.

A reminder you'll have to park on the road as the car park has been dug up for construction.
Some of you might like to park in Yuletide St and walk through the school to get to the hall on Crown St.
Parking in Yuletide St will certainly help out. Parking there will mean you'll want to walk to to the right of the church.

Chermside
Kellie will be your teacher again this Tuesday.

Kel is lots of fun and has year of experience as a Le Step teacher. So, get along and enjoy the teaching from one of our girls.

2hr Beginner Workshop - Sunday 7th November
The aim of the Beginners' Workshop is to get you out there on the floor enjoying freestyle as soon as possible - after all, that's what it's all about!
You will learn a number of base moves (moves which can be varied later on) in more detail than our regular classes allow. The basic techniques you'll learn from these base moves can then be applied to the many variations you'll encounter in our Intermediate / Advanced classes.
Beginner workshops do not require your own partner but you do need to book.

Technique covered will include:

Rhythm and Timing
Handholds and Leads from the Man
Spinning Technique
Footwork
Freestyling
Basic Dips and Drops; and
Developing Your Own Style.

Give yourself a head start with a two hour intensive workshop!

Time:	3:00 - 5:00pm
Cost:	Just $25pp for two hours
