REQUEST NIGHT TONIGHT IN SIX VILLAGES SPORTS CENTRE WESTERGATE!

Dear Dancers!

Well the good news is that we are having an All Request Night tonight in Westergate from 6.30 - 9.45....come one come all!!

And the bad news is (for me anyway) that my voice still hasnt fully returned!! So it will be another appearance of 'SOOTY' at tonights class - aka me with a triangle to get your attention and a blackboard to write what's coming next on!!! I hope you all behave yourselves tonight.......haha.....Mondays class was one of the best ever (or so they told me) with a real party atmosphere....hmmm....Im wondering if maybe some of you LIKE the fact I can't talk!!!!?

dont answer that please!!!

Other news!

10 HOUR DANCEATHON AT BUTLINS - SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20TH

The latest news on this fund raising event is that there are no person aged under 18 allowed in Butlins grounds on that day!!!

I have put forward my feelings on this matter - as I think its a terrible shame that the younger dancers are being left out of this charity event - but have been reassured that it is NOT the choice of the organisers but instead of BUTLINS themselves!!! Apparently the weekend is being advertised to the general public as an 'adult only weekend' which sadly means that they will not allow anyone under that age to enter the site at all!

I am hoping that an alternative venue could be arranged for our younger dancers to take part in a Danceathon where they WILL be made welcome!! So watch this space!!

On Sunday 10th October we have been asked to do a little 'demo' as part of FONTWELL's family event that is taking place there...

If you are interested in coming along and dancing with us, then simply come along and meet up with me at FONTWELL HOUSE just before midday and we will have a little boogie either in the Tea Rooms or just outside in the grounds.......it is being used as a promotion towards the Danceathon taking place in Butlins the following month - we are just using it as an opportunity to A) show the public that line dancing is fun and B) have a boogie!!

Hope to see you there!!

If you would like more details about the acual danceathon please click here www.macmillandance2010.co.uk

See you tonight - or in a class sometime very soon...

A NEW TERM IN THE KATZ LINE DANCE CLUB!

Dear dancers!

I hope you all had a lovely summer and are all ready to learn some lovely new dances this September? I hope so, because I have a mix of old classics and new exciting dances to teach across all levels!

We returned to Six Villages Sports Centre last Wednesday - and had a very good turn out for the last week of the Summer Holiday - thank you to those that came along and joined in the fun!

Fridays classes in Aldingbourne have re-opened too - and we are very much looking forward to welcoming any BRAND NEW DANCERS ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER FROM 3 - 4 P.M.!!!

If you are reading this because you have seen the new class advertised, you dont need to book, simply come along to the class around ten minutes early to sign in and bring along a drink of water (or juice etc) and wear low heeled supportive shoes/boots/trainers and you are all set to begin!! Please do not wear flip flops or very loose fitting sandals, or any footwear with thick rubber soles as these will hinder your dancing and could be dangerous too....the new class is only £3 and will follow the existing Experienced Beginners class which takes place between 1.30 and 2.30.........Linda and I are very much looking forward to our new 'intake' and would like to remind you that accompanied children over 8 are also welcome to take part in the class.

Mondays class returns to OAK LODGE from Monday September 6th at the usual times......the breakdown of the class is thus:

6.30 - 7.30 Experienced Beginners £4
7.30 - 8.30 Improver/easy intermediate £4
8 - 9.45 Easy intermediate/intermediate £5

You may prefer to come along for an hour crossing over two of these classes, for instance 7 - 8 p.m. this will cost £4 and will cover classic beginner/improver dances

We leave the arrival times up to you!!! If you want to come for the whole evening its just £5.....! so if you haven't tried us out yet, why not pop along some time soon and give it a try!

Saturday afternoons: I run a free class for the holidaymakers on Bunn Leisures Caravan Park in Selsey - the lessons run from 1 - 4 p.m. and local and visiting line dancers are also allowed to come along.......beginner dances are taught between 1 - 2 and improver/intermediate/advanced dances are taught between 2 - 4 p.m. why not stay on for the evening when we have live music to line dance to some of the top bands on the circuit!? Take a look at Andys Viking website for more information about who's on and when! www.vikingcwdc.co.uk
