News and Notices
Instagram…first love
Just over a year ago a young couple came to us with a handful of Strictly and Dancing With The Stars clips, and a dream to perform a similarly styled routine for their wedding first dance.
We started them off with learning the basic Waltz (and in fact Antony came up with a new way of teaching Waltz & Viennese Waltz to our beginners off the back of it!). As time went on we started putting together their wedding dance, and a number of highlight moments were introduced. You can enjoy one of them below:
Parking Tickets Possible
It has come to our attention that the new parking restrictions came into force early by mistake. We have seen reports that dog walkers have been receiving tickets from the week of 26th August.
Hopefully all our students entered their number plates in the tablet, however if you do find yourself with a ticket you will need to contact Burnham Parish Council to have it cancelled.
Please forward any tickets received, for the period 26/8-31/8, to assistantclerk@burnhamparish.gov.uk and they will get them cancelled.
A reminder to ALWAYS enter your number plate in the parking tablet as we cannot guarantee that we will be able to cancel an issued ticket, though we will always do our best.
Beginner Bachata Course
There will be a beginner Bachata course starting from Sunday 13th October 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.
Halloween Social
Our annual Halloween Social takes place on Friday 25th October. Dressing in fancy dress is not a requirement but always appreciated.
We’re already 15% booked for this event.
To reserve a space for another person please visit the Full Booking System.
Erin Boag Workshop Day
Join us on Sunday 10th November for an afternoon of Ballroom Dance workshops as we welcome back Strictly legend Erin Boag.
Four workshops
- 2pm Waltz

- 4pm Tango
- 5pm Viennese
Each workshop costs £25pp but you can get a block booking discount of all four for £70, £57.50 for any three workshops, or £42.50 for any two.
Winter Dinner & Dance
Our Winter Dinner & Dance takes place on Friday 8th November. Doors open 7pm with a welcome drink and dinner served from around 7.45pm

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 45% booked in total! There are only 8 double rooms remaining.
