Update 1 August 2022: Supply and Demand

1/8/2022

0 Comments

 

Only one item to cover this week.
Because we have a number of people making enquiries at this time - a lot of wedding dances at this time of year - and it is hard to get staff in - we are lucky to have the excellent people we do have - the group classes will be focused only on beginner and fundamentals. Also, the socials will not be schedule after 2 weeks from now
. This is so we can have private lessons later on Mondays and Wednesdays.

However, I should note the following:
1) You can hang around after group classes on Mondays and Wednesdays to practice more with others.
2) Even if you have learned the basics, you can (and should) still improve your fundamentals (lead/follow, posture, footwork and more) so the group classes remain of value to all.

August already! I hope the year is going well for you.

See you on the dance floor

Update 25 July 2022: awards and group classes

25/7/2022

0 Comments

 
In a bit over a month we will have the next awards night - 30 August.

As I always say - awards help you develop much faster because they give you a goal that focuses your efforts. They make for a great way to ensure you become a great dancer as fast as possible. It certainly worked for me.

Let your teacher know if you want to do this. I will also be contacting all students doing this. If you are meant to be and do not hear from me, then get back to me.

The last week was a great week in group classes. Because we have a 4 week promo going on at the moment, we have extra students in the classes. That is creating a great atmosphere of fun and excitement. 

So if you have not been to group class for a while, then come along for this great dance experience. We have also been sanitizing hands every 15 minutes and I am wearing a mask (we also have masks for you) so it is being kept safe too.

Classes this week:
  • Monday 7:30pm* Argentine tango and salsa 
  • Tuesday 6:30pm Jive and Cha cha 
  • Wednesday 7:30pm* rock and roll and Lindy Hop ​
  • Thursday 6:30pm Quickstep and waltz 
* followed by a social dance session

See you on the dance floor

Update 18 July 2022: Let's talk group classes

18/7/2022

​This week we start a new promo to engage new students with a 4 week program.
 
That means it is a great chance for you to come in and meet new people. While also showing off what you know, helping others enjoy dance and get some more practice in - there is no substitute for dancing with others to develop your lead and follow skills (along with general dance ability.
 
Also, I have told staff that we should start wearing masks (unless they have something like asthma) and to sanitize hands every 15 minutes in groups classes. So you can also feeler safer in group classes given the time of year. We will also have masks there for you to wear should you forget. 
 
Classes are Monday at 7:30pm, Tuesday at 6:30pm, Wednesday at 7:30pm and Thursday at 6:30pm.
 
 
See you on the dance floor.

I hope you have been well.

Group classes this week
Just letting you know that while I am still in isolation, we will have group classes on. They will be taken by a mix of Anita and Jess. So they might seem a little different from when I take them, but that means you get some new perspectives.
Group classes this week are:
  • Monday 7:30pm* - Argentine tango and salsa
  • Tuesday 6:30pm - Jive and Cha cha
  • Wednesday 7:30pm* - rock and roll and Lindy Hop ​
  • Thursday 6:30pm - Quickstep and waltz
* followed by a social dance session

Social events coming up
The Linda Ronstadt show this Sunday at 3:30pm at Caulfield RSL - https://www.facebook.com/events/1029469214358796. Some will recall the event there with the substitutes. It can get crowded, but there is a chance to dance R'n'R, Swing and Latin. You also need to get in quick so message me ASAP to secure a table - lest you stand the whole time.
Roy Orbison and Everly Brothers Tribute 7th of August at the studio venue. We have a bit more time before this one comes, see the image, but still good to put this in your diary and let me know if you are coming.
