VIRTUAL Dance Break this March

VIRTUAL DANCE BREAK UPDATE 05/03/2021: Timetable plan released and schedule below updated. Last-minute discount of £70 per screen.

VIRTUAL DANCE BREAK UPDATE 02/02/2021: Tests have been very well received and so the details below have been updated to reflect the changes. Due to the change in software we have extended the promo code deadline to 13th February. We have also added a Solo Dancer’s workshop.

VIRTUAL DANCE BREAK UPDATE 30/01/2021: We are currently testing a new video social software that will hopefully make interactions more organic than just using Zoom. More details to follow once initial testing has been completed.

We can’t meet in person so we’ve decided to host a VIRTUAL Dance Break this March instead. This will be in place of our annual Glastonbury dance break, which would have been focusing on Ballroom Jive this year.

Now we know what you’re thinking, how is that going to work?!  

Our idea for the virtual weekend is to follow as closely to a normal dance break format as we can (minor revisions/additions may occur as we develop this).

There’ll be elements where we will all be in the same virtual room but also the opportunity to ‘sit’ with people to catch up with other students.

We’ll have fun group activities and workshops and we’re even debating the possibility of a delivered menu!

Schedule for the Weekend

The plan for our virtual dance break is:  

• Friday 12th March (evening)
  • 8pm Welcome Drinks ‘Reception’
    • a virtual ‘Wessex Hotel’ ballroom that you can move around and chat to other people as you approach them
    • a selection of couches and tables that you can sit at to carry out uninterrupted conversations
    • a ‘bar’ area that you can chat to anyone else at or behind the ‘bar’
    • group Quiz Night (with prizes)
• Saturday 13th March  
  • 10am Partner Jive Workshop
  • 11am Solo Jive Workshop
  • 8pm Evening Social with a 50s dress-up theme (optional)
    • A special area of the dance floor with music playlists that you can ‘step’ onto
• Sunday 14th March
  • 9am Morning recap Jive dance workshop

There will also be the option of private Zoom dance classes over the virtual dance break weekend too.

How Much Does the Virtual Dance Break Cost?

For the final few places on our dance break we are offering the special price of £70 per screen.

If you have any questions, comments or feedback on this idea let us know. We’re happy to revise the plan to best suit what our students would like to take part in.
