UPDATE: CORRECTED TO REMOVE “NOT THIS WEEK” REFERENCES FROM LAST WEEK

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

Cherry Orchard Dance Studio Exterior Car Parking

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
