Instagram…a tribute to Len

I’m sure everyone by now is aware of the sad news of Len Goodman’s passing this past week. Whilst we didn’t know Len personally, we did have a wonderful memory of working with him way back in 2011 which we shared on instagram this week.

Spring Dinner & Dance

valentine dinner and dance at Learn To Dance in Burnham. A number of people sat at tables and chairs eating.

Our Spring Dinner & Dance takes place this Friday 5th May.

This will be in part a celebration of the upcoming coronation so we will have a red/white/blue theme.

We have managed to make an additional 4 places available and final numbers are required by Sunday evening. So book now and join us on another sell-out event!

Bournemouth Discount Deadline

Dancers dressed for a masquerade ball on our Bournemouth Dance Weekend

This year’s Bournemouth Dance weekend will be covering Waltz & Salsa from Friday 6th-Sunday 8th October.

You can save £15 per person if you book and pay in full before the end of April (this Sunday!).

To see more details of the break, and book online, check out the details here.

School Closed Over Coronation Weekend

Cherry Orchard Dance Studio Venue Hire Interior Panoramic

The school will be closed over the Coronation Weekend, Saturday 6th-Sunday 7th May.

We do have our Spring Dinner & Dance on Friday 5th May, in part celebrating the King’s Coronation the next day.

Waltz & Jive Courses

Learn To Dance Group Lesson at Cherry Orchard Studio

Our current Quickstep & Cha Cha Cha courses are coming to an end next month and making way for new courses.

We will have a Jive course starting from Wednesday 17th May, and a Waltz course from Monday 22nd May.

The courses cost £45pp for a 6 week block, and the courses are extended as long as enough students wish to continue.

Spring Exam Session

Twice a year we hold exam sessions under the National Association of Teachers of Dancing (NATD).

Exams are available for all age groups and abilities, with Rainbows for our under 8s all the way up to President’s Awards.

Our next exam session takes place on Sunday 21st May and there is still time to start working towards your first exam.

Just let us know if you are interested and we can go over all the details with you.

Change to Sunday Workshops

Learn To Dance Group Ballroom Dance Workshops

Due to declining numbers in our Sunday workshops we have made the decision to cancel Sunday Improver, Intermediate and Advanced workshops with immediate effect.

Sunday Sequence & Social workshops will continue for the moment.

For the next few weeks both Antony & Denise will open up additional private lesson availability whilst we review what will take place on Sundays.
