News and Notices
Instagram…suits you sir
As part of their holiday travels this week Emma and Antony decided to pop into Wrexham, having enjoyed the Disney+ documentary “Welcome To Wrexham”.
Turned out that not only did they unexpectedly get a chance to meet the players after a training session, but they also discovered that the suit worn by Paul Mullins (a Wrexham AFC player) in the most recent Deadpool film was actually on display in the club cafe.
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.
BRAND NEW Improver Level 3
We’re increasing the level of our Wednesday night classes and introducing a BRAND NEW improver level 3 class from Wednesday 11th September.
The 8pm class will increase to Improver Level 2, and the original 9pm Level 2 will increase to a new Level 3. All still cover Bronze level steps.
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
