oak lodge closed 21st January..

Dear dancers

I had a call from the caretaker at Oak Lodge. No one told him the school was closed. Poor thing got up at four to get there and clear the paths! However the school is not going to open for us tonight. It's a shame but minus temperatures tonight also make driving home for us all too dangerous.

Sorry everyone. Please could you pass this information on to anyone who isn't online.

See you next week.

Stay warm!

If you are interested in joining the class, simply come along on the 10th and join in! I will teach you simple basic routines that will enable you to be up and dancing within minutes of the class beginning!

Please wear low heeled supportive footwear, a shoe with a smooth sole is a good choice, loose fitting sandals or anything with a thin heel is not recommended.

You can wear any clothing you like - many people wear jeans and t shirts,

Please note we have use of the kitchen to make Tea and Coffee and you also have access to drinking water although many prefer to bring along a bottle of water to take sips from during the class.

THURSDAY EVENINGS, THE NEWELL CENTRE, CHICHESTER, WEST SUSSEX

On Thursday 13th I would like you all to come as early as possible as we sre holding our class in the BASIL SHIPPAM hall due to there being another group in the main hall that evening. Car parking spaces are of a premium so why not pop in early and have a good old boogie to some great classic dances with our existing beginners class? A new dance will be taught to our intermediates this week called CANT SHAKE YOU....its lovely, and has the feel of Quarter after one about it.....this will be taught after the 8.30 break.....

On Thursday 20th.....which is the final class of the year.......ill be bringing along mince pies to share with you all, and adding a festive feel to the class......as well as doing one final recap of all your fave dances taught in recent months, to prepare you for our BIG PARTY on Saturday 22nd! (which most of you are coming to!) 

Talking of which, we are almost completely sold out now, with just half a dozen tickets left..if you have already asked me to reserve you a ticket, dont worry i have! but if you havent then now is the time to get in touch before they all go!

The party is in the Newell Centre on Saturday 22nd December from 7 to 11.30 p.m!! tickets are £5 each...we will be holding a PRIZE RAFFLE that night, not a charity one, so no donations are necessary thank you! please do remember to bring along a couple of extra pounds to buy your tickets, and stand the chance of winning some fabulous prizes!! A food list will be out on the table on Thursday nights so you can perhaps bring something to share with the group!

Please remember that the beginner class which starts at 2.15 is suitable for absolute beginners to join too...the lastest dances being taught in this class are JUST A  MEMORY and LITTLE RHUMBA.....

teaching is slower and more careful in both these daytime classes,  and has a very relaxed friendly atmosphere, mostly suited to the retired person...the music chosen is mainly of a more traditional country style, and is strictly for adults only..the 12.15 class is also suitable for returners with many years experience.....you will receive a warm welcome anytime....

Friday 21 st December, CHRISTMAS PARTY!!

This party will combine both classes and starts at 1 P.M. until 3.30

There will be a prize raffle too and some fun dances to learn.........come along and let your hair down on the last class of the year!! we will also be having a shared buffet, the food list will be on the table in class this week....
