First up, group classes this week. It's a new cycle so now is a great time to start with them or get back into them if you have been wanting to. The dances this time are:

• Monday 7:30pm Street Latin - Salsa (the classic street Latin dance)
• Tuesday 6:30pm Latin American - Rumba (the most romantic of dances)
• Wednesday 7:30pm Swing and RnR - Blues (the coolest of dances)
• Thursday 6:30pm Ballroom - Quickstep (the swing of ballroom dancing)

​Second, awards are getting closer - 28 August 2024. Make sure that:

• your teacher has registered your details correctly for the event if you are performing;
• you have the date free - you can come along even if you do not go for an award*;
• you let friends and family know so they can come and watch you if you are going for an award*;
• you have voted in the group class awards - https://forms.gle/hm4fN2RGc42hq7xq8

*People not going for an award can secure their tickets for the night here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/awards-night.html. 
Third, let's talk social dancing. Make sure you secure your ticket for the spring ball on September 13 - www.destinedance.com.au/store/p42/springball2024.html. Thanks again if you are one of the people who has already bought a ticket. 
I have also noticed that it has been a while since we have seen a live band at the venue. So let me know if you want to join us on a table at this event on the Sunday of August 11 - https://www.facebook.com/events/791883249561947. These events are always a great way to see the weekend out.

This is the last week of the current cycle:

• Monday 7:30pm Street Latin - Kizomba (an African take on tango)
• Tuesday 6:30pm Latin American - Cha cha (a fun and universal dance)
• Wednesday 7:30pm No class
  
• Thursday 6:30pm Ballroom - Slow foxtrot (the most elegant of the dances)

Note Wednesday!
​
Next week we will teach: 

• Monday Salsa, 
• Tuesday Rumba, 
• Wednesday Blues, and 
• Thursday Quickstep. 

It's the perfect time to jump into group classes if you have not been for a while.
Also, I have another 4 week intro program for anyone you know who has not danced with us before, but is interested in trying - https://www.destinedance.com.au/intro-4weeks.html. I am not promoting this anywhere else - only through established contacts - so they should be reasonably small sized classes for this cycle. 
Remember that the awards are coming up - 28 August. Your teacher should talk to you this week about confirming your details for the awards - if you are doing them. I will also soon set up tickets for guests - watch this space.
And again - remind me if you want to do an exhibition with another student.
Finally, people have already started buying their tickets for the spring ball in September - https://www.facebook.com/events/2197230953985856 - thanks if you are on of the early birds who are well organised.

The group classes this week are:

This is the fifth week of the current cycle so on the 29th of July we will start:

• Salsa, 
• Rumba,

• Quickstep

And not too long from now, we have the awards. Let me know if you and another student want to to do an exhibition. Also, remember the group class participant awards (we need your input to the survey: https://forms.gle/5pAfv1tDSx3giwif9). There is still quite the spread of votes so we need more input. If you have not voted yet, then please do so. 

Finally, as a heads-up, we will not have classes on the 24th of July. The venue is not free then.
