The Katz Modern Line Dancers!

Wednesday 20 May 2009

This week at the club.....

Dear Dancers,

I hope you are all well!

Today is Wednesday 20th May, 2009 and I just have time to update you on a couple of things before setting off to run this evenings class in Westergate! Which, of course, is normal time, normal place, Westergate Community School!

ALDINGBOURNE VENUE - IMPROVERS CLASS SUSPENDED...From Friday 22nd May.

I have taken the decision to temporarily suspend the improvers hour (2.30 - 3.30) until the Autumn as the majority of the class have now migrated over to Wednesday evenings instead!

THE BEGINNERS CLASS WILL CONTINUE AS NORMAL!!!!!! so please do still come along for your 1.30 p.m. class as usual :)

In the Autumn we will review the situation and may reinstate the improvers hour. My apologies to anyone who hasnt crossed over to Wednesday evenings class, please do join us in Westergate School on Wednesday evenings from 7.30 (Improvers hour) or keep an eye on this blog (and your post) for further announcements about the Aldingbourne class. Thank you to everyone for being understanding of this situation - to continue to run the second hour for a small amount of people isn't cost effective and common sense has to prevail!

SATURDAY 23RD MAY - THE VIKING - SELSEY

This Saturday is a bank holiday weekend and sees the return of LIVE MUSIC from 1 p.m til 4 in the club in place of the usual free line dance lesson. But have no fear!! I will still be teaching on Saturday, but at the earlier time of 10.45 til 1 p.m. instead....please do come along for your FREE class as usual and then you can take up the option of staying on for the afternoon to dance along to Bob Keeley singing his little heart out!

On Saturday evening The Viking has another band on - please check the vikings website for full details on www.vikingcwdc.co.uk

MONDAY 25TH MAY - BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY

I am very sorry but as usual when Bank Holiday are around we are not allowed to run classes in Oak Lodge School in West Wickham - so we will see you the following week, which may well be a 'request and review' session.........!!

Take care everyone, and hope to see you in class very soon....

ALL CLASSES BACK TO NORMAL!

Dear Dancers,

Tomorrow see the Viking class back to normal times - 1 - 2 p.m. for beginners, and 2 - 4 for improvers and intermediates! Hurray! This class is completely FREE of course, but please do remember that the class takes place on licensed premises and you are not allowed to bring in your own drinks! Please support the club, and thank them for allowing us to use their venue free of charge by buying at least one drink over the bar - thank you :)

Monday we are back at Oak Lodge after our second Bank Holiday Monday closure this year (ho hum) thats what you get for running a class on a Monday I guess! We have two weeks of classes before we get to our next Bank Holiday closure...and then we run right through at Oak Lodge until the end of July! Hurray!!

The first two Mondays in August are going to be held in The Assembly Halls, Coney Hall, West Wickham and will operate in two separate sessions:

from 6.30 - 7.45 - Beginners only! £4.00

8 - 10 p.m. Improvers and Intermediates Only! £5.00

The reason for this is that the hall is slightly smaller than the one we usually use in Coney Hall and its only fair to make room in the car park for the second class by having a 15 minute gap between sessions to allow for the change over.....so those of you coming for the 8 p.m. class, please do give time for the beginners to leave before you arrive. Many thanks!

These arrangements are for the FIRST TWO WEEKS IN AUGUST ONLY! AND ONLY IN THE ASSEMBLY HALLS IN CONEY HALL - we go back to normal times in Oak Lodge when we return in September...

Boy Im getting ahead of myself!!! :)

Update on Folkestone.....we are pleased to say the trip is almost sold out! we have only Five remaining places....so if you want to come please do bring along your forms to class this week along with your deposits!

WESTERGATE

We have nothing to report at the moment - except to say that we will be having a Summer Party sometime in July (date to be announced!) where we may have some surprises!

ALDINGBOURNE

Thank you so much for joining this class - this is our newest class and we already have some new line dance addicts! Im extra pleased to say that a group of our newest KATZ dancers are coming along to our weekend away in November - I cant wait to introduce you to our other dancers - you will fit right in! haha (Im not saying a word about Maureen or Michaela or Jane at this point....haha!)

Ok thats it for now - except to say that recent new dances in your classes could include the following:

POKER FACE - J HO - WHITER THAN WHITE - MOONLIGHT KISS - MOJO RHYTHM - BAD BOY - HOLDING ON TO YESTERDAY - WANNA BE ELVIS - COUNTRY WALKIN' - RODEO BLUES - and the list goes on and on and on.....

See you all in class very very soon.

Take Care!
