Mad March Party and other news...week beg: 15th March 2010

Dear Dancers,

This Friday sees the start of the first of THREE 'party' weekends at The Viking Music and Dance Club in Selsey, West Sussex.....

A ticket for all five sessions of live music/teaching costs only £40...or you can pay on the door for each individual session at £10 each!

The doors open at 6.30 p.m. on Friday 19th - we have live music from The Thrillbillies and Alan Gregory with our very own DJ Andy playing all your requests late into the night...

Saturday morning - doors open at 10.30 a.m. for the first of two dance workshops run by myself! I will be teaching a mix of dances to suit improvers and intermediates alike!

My workshop will be followed by live music and dancing from 1 p.m. til 4.30 p.m. from American Spirit - so why not come along for the lesson and stay all day!?

Doors re open at 6.30 p.m. for another evening of great live entertainment, this time from Broadcaster and Cajun Moon!

Sunday mornings workshop will be followed by live music from Richard Palmer..

And the final evening of this action packed weekend will finish us off nicely with Live music from the Texas Tornados and Livewire!!!!

Why not come down and join in the fun? As I mentioned at the beginning - tickets for the whole three days (five sessions in all) costs only £40....or individual tickets for each session are £10 each!

Because of the Mad March party there will be no free line dance lessons this weekend of course - if you cant make our special weekend - then Ill look forward to seeing you at 1 p.m. the following Saturday as usual.

Other news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have tried two weeks of intermediate classes at Aldingbourne Sports and Social Club and have decided that we need to advertise more if this is to take off with any success - so with that in mind, I am sorry to say that from THIS FRIDAY 19TH MARCH we will be reverting to Beginners only from 1.30 - 2.45....

There will be no intermediate class at Aldingbourne from now on until we get our advertising sorted out!! Sorry to disappoint but there is little point in running classes for a handful of people. Thank you to those of you that have come along to see us, and I will see you on either Wednesday Nights or Saturday afternoons as usual.

DAFFODIL DANCE WEEK - NEXT WEEK!!!

From this Saturday I will be teaching this years 'Daffodil Dance' 'Walking in the rain - by Maggie G' in all classes...I have some yellow daffodil pin badges to sell for £1 each on behalf of the Marie Curie Cancer Care team.....and any other donations will be very welcome also!!

What Im trying to say is - if you want to learn the dance - YOU GOTTA PAY TO DO SO!! haha!!!

Its all in a good cause - and if you fancy wearing something yellow to make the event even more spring like then that would be fab too!!

WESTERGATE CLOSURES - ALTERNATIVE VENUE INFO

On April 7th and 14th we will be using Bognor Regis Football Clubs brand new clubhouse for our classes - times and prices as usual.

The club is in Nyewood Lane in Bognor and has a lovely dance floor - and an even lovlier bar!!! this does mean however that you are unable to bring along your own drinks as we will be using licensed premises....please do purchase at least one drink from across the bar to show yoru appreciation of them allowing us in at short notice!

There may be two additional dates in late May when we need to switch venues to allow Westergate school to use their own hall for their concerts - watch this space for dates...

Tomorrow night - Wednesday 17th March - is a REQUEST NIGHT so get your thinking caps on and let me know what you would like to dance on arrival at class tomorrow!

Look forward to seeing you all in a class sometime soon!

take care

Julie

THE VIKING RE-OPENS THIS SATURDAY MARCH 6TH, AND OTHER NEWS!

Dear Dancers,

Well that time is here again! It's time for the Viking to re-open for the 2010 season!

We kick off proceedings for the line dancers at 1 p.m. in the Viking Music & Dance Club, Green Lawns Caravan Park, Selsey, West Sussex with a return to FREE LINE DANCE LESSONS!!

Beginners are most welcome between 1 and 2 p.m. from 2 - 4 p.m. it's improver/intermediate/advanced dancers that we cater for!

This week's new teaches include:

DREAM OF YOU - by Teresa & Vera - written to All I do is dream of you - by Michael Buble

and (due to demand!)

YOU AND I - by Oli Geir and Hungrun from Iceland - written to Someday by Hera Bjork
This is a high intermediate phrased line dance written in two parts - it's not as tricky as it may at first appear and has been very popular in many linedance clubs during the winter.....

I will also be teaching a variety of other dances, to suit all levels!

Please do remember that as this is a FREE class you will be required to purchase at least one drink from across the bar as a sign of your appreciation, and may we gently remind you that you must not bring in you own drinks or food into these licensed premises.

The class ends at 4 and the doors will re open at 6.30 for you evening of line dancing to LIVE music, this week to CROSS COUNTRY, and to all your requests played by the best line dance DJ in the UK - DJ Andy D.......

Unfortunately there will be no reviews at 6.30 this year, as I will am not able to be there to run them. But I will be there a little later in the evening to help you from the front of the dance floor if you need someone to follow!

If you are one of the people that previously enjoyed the free reviews, I can only apologise and cheekily suggest that you try to come to the afternoon class instead!!!!

Other news.....

THIS FRIDAY IN ALDINGBOURNE!!!

We are adding in an extra class for intermediates who might like a daytime class in the Chichester/Bognor area - Aldingbourne is just a short drive from both towns and is held in Aldingbourne Sports and Social Club in Olivers Meadow, Westergate. Please go to www.linedancingevents.com for more details of this and all other classes and venues....

OUR NEXT WEEKENDER...!!!

We are so pleased to announce that we have managed to secure a beautiful hotel in Bournemouth for the weekend 18 - 20th February next year - we would have liked to have gone in November this year, but due to the hotels huge popularity it was fully booked until February next year! Details of this trip will be given out soon - but in the meantime - please do pencil that date in your diaries!!

Ok thats all the news for now peeps!

Take care and see you in a class near you, very soon...
