This week we start a new cycle in group classes and we start getting ready for the next awards.
Group classes this week:
If you are a private student, then you will now be thinking about what to do for the next awards. If you went to the awards as a guest, then you are likely now thinking about doing awards yourself. Get in touch with me if you would like to talk more about this. You might want to just focus on getting good at one dance - awards are an excellent way to focus so you get good fast. Or maybe you now want to take this path to explore, learn and master all the dances you can. That's why I kept on learning dance. Also, if you saw the showcase at the end, and you would like to do the same (put on a show for it's own sake and get feedback from a qualified adjudicator), then, once again, get in touch and we can talk more about that too. See you on the dance floor Clint

There is a bit on this week so let's go through each event at a time.
Awards These are on Wednesday. The schedule is as follows:
Group classes this week As you know, this week we are running group classes with more esoteric styles given we have awards on Wednesday. This week the group classes are:
Tango this Sunday Because we have just finished off 6 weeks in tango, now is a good time to go out as a group to experience some tango in a social context. Therefore, this Sunday, I will be going to one of the most welcoming events in Melbourne. Let me know if you wish to join me. Details here - https://tangoclub.melbourne/events/nft-project-milonga/ Private lessons available We currently have a number of slots available for private lessons. So now let me know if you:

Finally, please keep in mind the importance of staying consistent with your private lessons. If you cancel, then your instructor is left with no work. Thus, please keep these lessons consistent, so you can improve faster, and also give fair warning when you can't make one. See you on the dance floor Clint Group classes this week:
We have awards on 1 May 2024. If you are going for the awards, then make sure your details have been confirmed with your teacher and me. A separate email will be sent. If you are not going for awards, then you can secure your ticket here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p40/May_2024_Awards_night_-_Destine_Dance.html Because we lose one night of group classes that week, the subscriptions will be paused, but the classes will still run. Thus, if you are on a subscription, then you get a few free lessons. And if you do go to the awards, then the cost is, in effect, only $6 for a week of dance lessons/experiences. Also, on that week, the lessons will focus on some of the more esoteric dances:
See you on the dance floor Clint Welcome to the end of daylight savings. The studio is now going to be a bit darker when you leave. I will do my best to recall putting on the outside lights for you.
Group classes this week:
Also, recall the social events we have coming up:
Finally, remember the awards coming up. If you are not going for an award, then you get to watch and support others, enjoy a dance lesson, enjoy some social dancing, eat some pizza, and simply have a good night. Secure your ticket here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p40/May_2024_Awards_night_-_Destine_Dance.html. Bring some friends as well. It’s a good night.

Make sure you check out the Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/DestineDance - I have a video there offering more insights in WCS after some questions were asked about how to dance it to different styles. Also remember that we have awards coming up. Check your details with your teacher if you are going for awards. And secure your ticket if you want to watch and be part of the social dancing - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p40/May_2024_Awards_night_-_Destine_Dance.html - it will be a fun night. See you on the dance floor Clint First off, group dance lessons this week:
• Monday 7:30pm Street Latin - Argentine tango (a classic dance all should know) • Tuesday 6:30pm Latin American - Samba (a very fun high energy dance) • Wednesday 7:30pm Swing and R'n'R - West Coast Swing (the dance of improvisation) • Thursday 6:30pm Ballroom - Waltz (the classic ballroom dance) Note, that this is a new cycle so a great time to get back into group classes if you have not done them for a while. Also, a great time for any friends you have who are thinking about trying out dance. Secondly, the next awards night is getting close – 1 May 2024. If you are a student going for any award, then your teacher will be confirming your dances and fees this week. And I will be contacting you soon to confirm the schedule. If you would like to come and watch, or if you have friends and family who would like to support you going for your awards, then secure tickets here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p40/May_2024_Awards_night_-_Destine_Dance.html. The price includes watching the awards, a dance fun and easy dance lesson, pizza, and social dancing. The bar will be open with excellent prices – it always makes for a good night. See you on the dance floor Clint Did you know that there are two major events coming up. One in two weeks and the other in two months.
But first, group classes for this week:
And remember that the first awards night for the year is on May 1. Check with your teacher this week about it. I will also soon be setting up a link on the website so that friends and family - and of course all others who are not going for an award - can get a ticket to come along. See you on the dance floor Clint Remember that there are no classes on Thursday. And the group lessons for this week are:
Finally, remember the EOY party. I have the trophies for those doing their awards, I have organised for the bar to be attended, and I am getting everyone's food preferences as they register. Register yourself now - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p39/EOY2023.html - and invite any friends who are interested. As well as the awards, which are good to watch, there will be the bar, the BBQ, a group class for all, and social dancing. In short - a good night. See you on the dance floor Clint First off - remember that there is no class tonight (Monday).
Group classes this week:
Awards If you are going for awards, then I have recently sent an email about the details. Please let me know if you did not get this. Cancellations December is a crazy time this year, and the following nights we will not have any classes:
I realise that is a fair chunk of the month. This was partly the result of some confusion within the management of the venue so it is an unusual December. Thus, to compensate those who are currently on the subscription, I will be suspending their fees for the month of December. EOY party Thanks again to those who filled out the survey. We will be doing a BBQ this year along with the awards and a class suited to beginners as well (so please bring friends) and then we'll have some social dancing to see the night out. The bar will also be open at great prices. You can purchase your tickets for the night via this link: https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p39/EOY2023.html Social coming up If you joined us last time we saw this band, then you will recall how good they are. Save the date (9th December): https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122124073184059750&set=a.122098970990059750. And let me know that you are coming. See you on the dance floor Clint |
