News & Events Coming Up

New Parking Restrictions

There are new parking restrictions in force at the Cherry Orchard.

Only the first 30 minutes of parking are now free (previously 2 hours) between the hours of 7am-7pm. There will still be no parking for the general public after 7pm.

Learn To Dance students will still receive free parking so long as they enter their number plate in the tablet provided.

This means that every student will need to enter their number plate when they arrive, but still only once per day.

Our Halloween Social takes place on Friday 25th October. Doors open 7.30pm with dancing through to 10pm.

Dressing up is not compulsory but appreciated.

Tickets cost £8pp and advance booking is recommended.

Antony Interviewed

Last month Antony was interviewed for an upcoming article in My Weekly magazine about the return of Strictly, in the wake of the recent scandal.

His comments have featured in this week’s edition so feel free to pick a copy up if you like (it’s the one with Julie Andrews on the cover!)

Are you looking forward to the return of Strictly this year?

What You May Have Missed

18th Anniversary Party

Back in April we celebrated 18 years since the formation of Learn To Dance!

We are so grateful to all our students for their continued support. It’s great to say that we are finally back to full strength after all these post-COVID years.

In fact we’re already starting to make preparations for our grand 20 year anniversary in 2026!!!

Kristina Rihanoff

It was an intense set of sessions back in May with an afternoon of Latin American workshops with Kristina Rihanoff.

There were a lot of technical elements for the students to take away and work on, along with a few fun sequences they could add in to their existing repertoire.

Our next Strictly workshop day is Sunday 10th November with Erin Boag.
