News and Notices
Instagram…smooth moves
Our American Smooth course is a few weeks in so we thought we’d put up a little highlight reel of how it’s going so far. Antony thought he’d try the soft-focus approach for this one.
Let us know what you think?
YouTube…Back Quarter Turn
Here we’re adding a back quarter turn (steps 4-6 of a reverse turn but under-turned) that will allow us to build up towards moving around the room, as well as give you a handy ‘get out of trouble’ move later on.
Feel free to check out our YouTube channel for more videos. The more you watch and like our videos it really helps us to be recommended to other viewers so we’d appreciate that too.
Anniversary Party
We will be hosting our Anniversary Party on Friday 26th April from 7pm-11pm.
The ticket price of £10 includes a welcome drink.
Doors open at 7pm and dancing starts from around 8.30pm.
We are already over 65% booked for this event.
