PARTIES - FOOTBALL AND MORE! MAY 4TH 2010

Dear Dancers,

STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS! FOR ALL SATURDAY AFTERNOON DANCERS!!! ON MAY 15TH THE CLASS IN THE VIKING WILL RUN FROM 11.30 A.M. TO 2.30 P.M. DUE TO THE F.A. CUP FINAL BEING SHOWN ON A BIG BIG SCREEN ON THE STAGE IN THE BALLROOM FROM 3 P.M.!!!! PLEASE DO MAKE A NOTE AND COME ALONG EARLY!!! Why not stay for the match too!!

What's happening in the Katz Line Dance Club....all classes......please read on!

Well I dont know about anyone else but I missed our Monday class last night!! True, I was glad of the opportunity to have a lovely day out with Andy, and a rest from three very very late nights at the Viking, but still it doesn't feel right not dancing on a Monday night!!

We are back to normal next week in Oak Lodge! Look forward to a dance called GLEEHAB!!! Which will be taught in the 8.30 class!

Dances being taught/reviewed in all classes at the moment include:

BLACK VELVET, LET'S CHILL, JUST A MEMORY, COUNTY LINE CHA CHA, CHICA BOOM BOOM, WALKING IN THE RAIN, GAVE IT ALL AWAY, YOU AND I, DREAM OF YOU, LOVE YA, QUARTER AFTER ONE, RHYME OR REASON, BOBBI WITH AN I, GLEEHAB and RAH RAH OOH LA LA!

Obviously not all dances are taught in all classes - dances are picked specifically to suit the 'level' of each class - the dances listed range in ability from Absolute Beginner to advanced......! (my poor brain! haha - to say nothing of my poor legs!!)

Wednesday's class was successful last week! Hurray! - the hall was lovely and clean (just washed in fact!) and there was plenty of floor space for us still despite the recent addition of retractible seating! Tomorrow's class (5th May) is on as normal. Starting at 6.30 with Beginners....!

Friday's class was lots of fun last week, we saw the return of a few familiar faces who have been away on holiday which boosted the numbers very nicely thank you! I LOVE this class on Fridays - its beginner level only - but we have such a nice atmosphere in Aldingbourne Hall that it would be a shame to lose it due to low numbers.....I am going to keep the class going as long as possible, and will do another leaflet drop to encourage new dancers for September! There is a possiblity of adding on an Absolute Beginners class AFTER the existing class finishes at 2.45......should be interesting! Maybe we could get some mums and their children to come along at 3 p.m.? hmmmm (thinks that one over......!)

Anyway, the class will continue for the foreseeable future is what I am trying to say - 1.30 - 2.45 p.m. every Friday - in Aldingbourne Sports and Social Club!

Saturday Afternoon - 1 - 4 p.m. The Viking Selsey!!

The class is once again FREE OF CHARGE this season - and is open to anyone that wants to come - 1 - 2 p.m. is beginners with intermediate splits/requests....and 2 - 4 p.m. is improver/intermediate/advanced level....

The viking is a great place to dance and if you havent been there yet? well, why not? take a look at Andy's viking website www.vikingcwdc.co.uk and see photos of this spectactular venue!

FORTHCOMING EVENTS...

SUMMER PARTIES!!!

I am planning on having Summer parties again this year on your regular club nights ......

MONDAY 5TH JULY - OAK LODGE PRIMARY SCHOOL - We are having the party early this year before everyone disappears off on holiday!! Instead of live music this year we will have a themed request night - with two party dances being taught by moi instead ! I think that this class prefers the comfort of dancing to songs they know and love, and always love a good party dance or two during the evening....I will be there to guide you on the dance floor the whole evening with pre-planned split floors to keep the beginners up and dancing all night alongside their intermediate friends! This year's theme is 'STARS AND STRIPES!!' (make of that what you will!!!) Anything adorned with Red, White and Blue goes.....let's yehaaa it up a bit shall we!!? hehe!!

WEDNESDAY 7TH JULY - WESTERGATE SCHOOL - with live music to dance to!! (watch this space for the name of the artist over the next week or two!)The theme for the evening will be the same as Mondays class!! 'STARS AND STRIPES!!!' YEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA!!! hehe........I know I can expect the most fabulous of outfits from all classes! Our Friday afternoon dancers will be invited along to the Wednesday night BIG SUMMER PARTY so get thinking about those outfits peeps!!! (fancy dress is, as always, optional but lots of fun if we all join in!)

(both parties will be on a Bring Your Own Drinks and a plate to share basis) More details in class coming soon!

Now as it is American Indpendence Day on July 4th - I think the SATURDAY AFTERNOON CLASS IN SELSEY would love to join in the STARS AND STRIPES! theme on Saturday July 3rd!!!???!!! Am I right? or am I right?!

WEDDING UPDATE - As Andy and are are getting married the week before our annual trip to Bournemouth and it's looking like most of our dancers are coming on the holiday, we thought it would be nice to make the Friday night a bit of a party to celebrate our nuptials with our dancers! Maybe you could think about a nice 'wedding guest' style outfit to wear for Friday nights meal when we would like to share in a glass of champagne with all of you! And we will save the 'cutting of the cake' for Friday too - just so that you can all witness it happen!

UPDATE ON THE WESSEX HOTEL - BOURNEMOUTH - 18 - 20 FEB 2011
