News and Notices
Instagram…singing on the train?
Emma and Antony were on a tube back from London on Monday night when they saw this warning sticker.
They couldn’t help feeling like the poster looked more like an advert for a musical!
Parking Update
A reminder that from Sunday 1st September new parking regulations are in force at the Cherry Orchard.
All students will need to enter their number plates in the tablet to validate their parking when they arrive, as there is only 30 minutes of free parking otherwise.
Parking will still be free for all Learn To Dance students.
Beginner Jive Course
There will be a beginner Jive course (triple-step not Rock and Roll) starting from Sunday 8th September at 6pm.
The four week course costs £35pp and is available to book now.
To reserve a space for another person please visit the Full Booking System.
Quickstep Course
We will have a 6-week Quickstep course starting from Monday 9th September.
The course will start with a focus on the basics, and improving your technique, before moving on to a variety of figures for navigating the floor.
The course costs £50pp and is available to book now. To reserve a space for another person please visit the Full Booking System.
Foxtrot American Smooth Course
We will be continuing with the theme of American Smooth in September, this time focusing on the Foxtrot.
With this course we will show you a number of moves and figures that you can introduce into your regular Foxtrot (or entirely in place of) to get around the floor with some added pizazz!
The 6-week course costs £50pp and is available to book now. To reserve a space for another person please visit the Full Booking System.
You do not need to have attended the previous American Smooth courses.
Glastonbury Dance Break
Next year’s Glastonbury Dance Break will take place from Friday 7th – Sunday 9th March 2025.
This break will focus on Viennese Waltz, and the theme of the Saturday night will be ‘Viennese Ball’.
The break costs £225pp but you can save £15pp if you book and pay in full by 30th November 2024.
All solo rooms are now fully booked and we’re already over 30% booked for all places!
To reserve a space for another person please use the Full Booking System.
