The Katz Modern Line Dancers!

Saturday 26 September 2009

Dear Dancers,

Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people that have supported our efforts to keep the class running at the Viking for the final few weeks of the season (see post below for full story). It has been lovely to see lots of familiar faces coming along to lessons as usual - and even more lovely, that no one has complained about paying for lessons.

Thank you all so very much. Next year the classes are due to return to being offered for free - and so from now until the end of the season there are only four more Saturdays to pay for - the two dance workshops included in the Viking party weekend are included in the Ticket price and there will be no extra charge.

Other news...

New class in Aldingbourne - if you would like to learn how to linedance then please take a look at our website www.linedancingevents.com and click on 'classes' for details of all our classes, including the newest one which is still looking for new members....dont be shy - just come along and give it a go! you may surprise yourself and you will most definately have fun!

A message to all Viking Line Dancers......

Dear Dancers,
Due to a Bunn Leisure review on all entertainment
facilities on offer to holidaymakers and owners, the
entire entertainment programme across all 3 parks
has been radically altered. It has been decided to
temporarily suspend the offer of free line dance
lessons at the Viking, This decision was not taken
by the Viking Club’s manager.
In order to avoid disappointment to you,
our valued dancers, by having to close the class
completely, it has been agreed that Julie will continue to
teach at the Viking, but in the capacity of a freelance
instructor, running a private class. Therefore
a small weekly entry fee will be charged as follows:-

Adults - £3.00 each – Under 16’s £2.00
(Please see Andy or Linda to pay....)
We are very sorry that this class can no
longer be offered for free, but do hope that
you will continue to come to classes, and
support Julie in her efforts to keep your
club open for business! 

Please note that this decision will not affect Saturday
nights in any way – the entertainment will continue as
advertised – including the October Party (complete
with free lessons from Julie on Saturday and Sunday
mornings). There is every possibility that free lessons
will resume in 2010.

Autumn In The Katz Line Dance Club

Dear Dancers,

Well, first of all my apologies for not updating my blog for a whole month!! This was partly due to my extended DIY-ing, and partly due to keep forgetting to do it!

I hope you have all had a good holiday season and are now ready for the PARTY SEASON!!??!! Well, that's what I prefer to call the next 6 months anyway!

Ok let's get started......

DIARY DATES

Friday 18th September.......NEW ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS CLASS STARTS IN ALDINGBOURNE!

12.45 p.m. - 1.45 p.m. Absolute Beginners - £3.00 which is followed by...
1.30 p.m. - 2.45 Experienced Beginners - £3.00 (Or do both classes for £4.00)

Aldingbourne Sports and Social Club, Olivers Meadow, Westergate, Chichester. PO20 3YA If you need directions call Julie on 07799741288

If you are reading this because you have received a leaflet through your door and are thinking of coming along to join our newest class, then all you need to do is to wear a supportive pair of low (wide) heeled shoes/boots/trainers and bring along a bottle of water and leave the rest to us.

Linedancing is a great hobby to get involved in and is a good way of getting back into exercising in a gentle fashion. It is also a lovely way to make new friends and have a bit of fun for the afternoon.

Our new class will concentrate on teaching the basics of linedancing with plenty of opportunity to practice each routine/step combination over the coming weeks and months, we have members of all ages from 8 - 80 in our classes and as linedancing doesn't need a partner you can do as much or as little as you feel able to do, there is never any pressure to dance the whole session - we encourage you to listen to your own bodies and to dance at your own pace. The early routines are very simple and even if you believe you have two left feet - I will show you that will not hinder your progress! If I had been given a pound for every new dancer that joined my classes over the years saying 'I have two left feet!!' I would be a very rich woman!
