VENUE REPORT

Tuesday nights @ ARUNDEL

Allan is teaching at Arundel this week with Aynsley for the beginner class and Rachel for the intermediate class.

Enjoy the freestyle session before the next round of classes start at 9pm with Justin and Vicky teaching re-cap class for the beginners and Isaac and Aynsley take middle class for those making the progression from beginners to the next step of intro-mediate.

A reminder to people of all levels - the freestyle opportunities are a great social outlet so resist the urge to hog just one person. Use this time to dance with as many people as you can as that is what will make you a great dancer in no time at all.

Wednesday night @ SOUTHPORT - Kat teaching this week!

Join Kat and Atul for the beginner class this week at Dance HQ! Kat and Austin will then teach the intermediate class.

After the first freestyle session, we'll split into the 3 different levels and with the help of the awesome crew who are there to help you enjoy your night, you'll be out on the dance floor and not wanting to stop.

At 9pm Atul and Emma will teach the beginner with the re-cap class while Tash and Tyler will introduce those moving up from the beginner level to something a little more challenging in the intro-mediate class.

If you enjoyed the games at the end of the night last Wednesday, stick around this week too as we get ready to play something different.

Kent and Chrissy will teach the beginner class this week and then Kent and Laura will be teaching the intermediate class for us. Come along and see what moves will be thrown at you!

Friday's offer the same format as our other classes but with EXTRA dancing at the end of the night. That's right - don't forget the extended dancing until 11pm on Friday nights.

Coby and Chrissy will take the beginners for the re-cap class while Tim and Dahna help those stepping up from beginners in the intro-mediate class.

Join us after class at Spinners at the Casino where we can order food and drinks and have unlimited space for the large number of people who come along to socialise after class. This is a great way to meet people you dance with or would like to dance with as it gives us all a chance to chat.
