RED NOSE DAY TOTAL!!
Dear Dancers,
Firstly can I just thank you all for taking part in last weeks efforts for Comic Relief...we raised a grand total of £355.45p!!!! Which is fabulous!!!
The breakdown was as follows:
Saturday afternoon class at the Viking - £105.00
Monday evening at Oak Lodge - £107.50
Wednesday evening at Six Villages - £80.45
and finally..
Friday afternoon at The Newell Centre - £62.50!!
So THANK YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH for joining in with the fun.....if you are on facebook the photos have been uploaded to the site but I will endeavour to add a few on here too - sadly I didnt get time to take any photos of Saturdays class but did see one of our dancers with a camera clicking away - so maybe there will be some photots to follow soon!!
NEXT WEEKS IN THE CLUB.....
ITS TIME TO TURN YELLOW FOR MARIE CURIE!!
Please come along to Monday's and Wednesday's classes dressed in something yellow and bring along just one extra pound to buy a daffodil pin and learn this years Daffodil Dance by Robbie McGowan Hickie....he has written two dances to the same track and Ive chosen to teach the easier of the two in order to get as many dancers involved as possible....!!
Im also hoping to have a tea party at the same time - so watch this space for more details or just come along as usual and see what happens!! haha
TV APPEARANCE ON THE ONE SHOW LAST MONDAY - 21st MARCH 2011
As you may have heard or seen I and some of my line dance friends and colleagues made a brief appearance on the One Show this week! The piece was about the rise of women in country music as Taylor Swift was to appear on the show....the BEEB had rung the Viking club in Selsey to ask if they could come and film in this atmospheric country saloon themed bar, and of course they said yes!
Very late on Thursday they rang to ask if we could get some dancers together for the filming and we were happy to oblige! Some of us even got the chance to do a line to camera - I said mine as fast as possible so that I didnt forget it! haha!
We were pleased with the result, and even got a mention from Matt Baker on the One Show before the film was shown...it was lovely to hear the word 'KATZ' on the telly!!
BOURNEMOUTH
Places are filling up faster than I can handle them!! So please do hand your forms back in as soon as you can so we can see if we have any spare spaces left over to offer to our newer dancers.....a lot of whom are keen to join us next time - if only we could find and even bigger hotel!!
SOUTHSEA - LONDON BEANO - THIS AUGUST!!
I have arranged an additional Seaside Beano for the London class to help to ease the problems caused by Bournemouth being almost full already - if you would like details of this trip please do email me on julieandthekatz@msn.com. the Dates for this three day/night summer trip from the London Class to Southsea is Tuesday 16th - Friday 19th August THIS YEAR! Its a lovely hotel, right opposite the beach!! Places are beginning to fill up nicely - and we are limited to only 50 people maximum! So it's very much first come first served....if any of our West Sussex dancers are interested in more details about this trip and would like to join us, please come and ask for details....(it may be fairly local for you, but it is still going to be loads of laughs and three days and nights of linedance fun!!
Ok thats all for now folks - I look forward to seeing you all in a class sometime soon....for those of you wanting to know the names of the dances I taught this past weekend at the Viking Mad March party, here they are:-
