GROUP CLASSES
We start new dances in the group class this week:
This is the start of the next cycle so if you want to get in when it is focused on beginners, then now's your chance. SOCIAL EVENT Remember the social this Saturday - www.facebook.com/events/774881707568148. It is disco so always good to dance to - be it swing or Latin. Let me know if you are coming so I can organize a table for us all. PHOTO OPPORTUNITY I have been contact by a photographer who wants to take photos of dancers. His contact details are below:
He is a student at Photography Studies College (PSC). As a part of the course, he is currently working on a portfolio and looking for models to photograph for a ballroom dance themed shoot. He is looking for mature age students or late high school at the youngest. As a thankyou for having you model for him - he is happy to provide a set of high res digital files complimentary. The objective of the shoot is to capture the essence of dance and movement through a range of photographic techniques which will be incorporated into the shoot. If you like the idea of posing for a photo and getting a record of your efforts, then drop him a line. See you on the dance floor Clint

This is the last week of the current round of dances in group class:
Also, remember the disco social coming up in a couple of weeks - www.facebook.com/events/774881707568148. This might be the last such event for a while so make sure you get to this one. We will of course always look for events in the area so you can use what you learn to dance socially and have a good time. Let me know if you want to come. Disco always seems a bit better than the other nights - likely because it is music to dance to and the various styles that suit it. See you on the dance floor Clint CLASSES
Yes we do have classes tonight so first a reminder about classes this week:
SOCIAL OUTING We have another social outing this Saturday - https://www.facebook.com/events/472938455054400. It was a great outing with Blush and I expect Rough Edges to be just as good. Collin, Tony and I did a good job of keeping the ladies with us dancing, but we still had some other men hovering around trying tp pick up. So a few more men from Destine Dance would be appreciated - and you should have a good time. Let me know if you are coming so we have an idea of numbers. See you on the dance floor Clint First off, remember there are no classes tonight. Other classes this week:
Thanks to those who came to the trivia night and live music event on Saturday. We had a table of 13 people representing Destine Dance - still didn't have enough answers to win the trivia though. Part of the group Remember that it is the salsa and tango weekend at Gisborne this weekend. I will be there. And so will others. You can talk more about travelling in groups and such on the Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/DestineDance.
Speaking of social media, we will start collecting more content for online engagement. That means more photos and videos being taken within the studio. Of classes and student interviews and such. Let us know if you do not want to be in such content or if you are happy for a student interview should we do some. See you on the dance floor Clint This update will have a big social focus. But first, let's go over the group classes this week.
Social events coming up St Patrick's day at the studio this Friday. I will be there and you know we have a dance floor there so come along. Thanks if you have contacted me about the trivia and 80's cover band at Carnegie Hall on the 25th. Looks like we will have a good group. If you are keen to go, and have not told me, then drop a line. Remember the salsa and tango weekend in April 1-2. Book your ticket and let me know. If we get enough, then we might be able to organize shared transport and travel. As always - join the Facebook group to be more across the social events and more.
See you on the dance floor Clint This week in the group classes we have:
Stay up to date with the social events we will be going to Have you joined the Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/DestineDance? Make sure you do, this is where we share external events that you would be interested in. There is an amazing dance and cultural event coming up that you would likely want to go to and the details are there. This is the kind of thing you learn dance for so you do not want to miss it: salsa, tango, Cuban food, Argentinian food, and live music. All in the Macedon ranges - we might even organize a bus for us all to take so it's even more fun. A new format to the group classes You might have seen the events on Facebook. After this week, we will stick with the one style for 6 weeks at a time in the group classes. This will help everyone get a better understanding of each dance and allow for more enjoyment. Update for those on group class subscription If you are on the weekly subscription for group classes, then you can now get the occasional private at a discount if you ever feel you need some extra help like those people who do the privates get each week. Check out the webpage for more details - https://www.destinedance.com.au/group-lessons.html. Awards The next awards night is on 24 May. These are, as I always say, an excellent way to accelerate your dance ability. I emailed people already registered for the awards today. Talk to your teacher if you did not get this email to make sure you are on the list - it will be months before the next one. New Staff Check out the website to see some of the new people who will be starting with us as teachers. See you on the dance floor Clint First off, group classes this week:
Third off, remember the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/767400293465916. We will soon be sharing more there that you will not see here and it is a good way to get to know other students more. Fourth off, new group class format. We will soon be focusing on one style for 6 weeks at a time. We will still keep the social aspect the same. It's just that this way you will be able to really get into each dance as we stay with it for a period. Fifth and final, new staff. I will soon be announcing some new people coming on board. Something to get excited about. See you on the dance floor Clint First off, group classes this week:
One of the reasons we have been promoting group classes is that the teachers are booked full with privates. We are therefore looking for more teachers. If you happen to know someone who would like to work as a dance teacher, then let them know. Finally, we have set the dates for the awards nights this year:
See you on the dance floor Clint Steele Hello, Classes start this week so a few points to go over:
CLASSES THIS WEEK Note that there are no classes on Thursday.
SOCIAL EVENTS It was quite a good time last night at the Santana cover band. Very good music to dance to and a great atmosphere. Thanks to those who came. This Sunday it’s the Treblets at the studio (https://www.facebook.com/functionseventsepsc/posts/pfbid0L2sgKXcSJwYbEbJqL8WVYFHPWXeJT1ii5oDYFLzd9uaZPBTZ4ig2BPWAd7YZCvbfl). Let me know if you are going and we will again get a table together. Always a great way to finish the weekend.
GETTING MORE PEOPLE IN THE STUDIO As I mentioned last time, we have a promo coming up for beginners - http://www.destinedance.com.au/intro-4weeks.html. Share it with anyone you know who is thinking about learning dance. More people equals more fun! See you on the dance floor Clint Before we talk about other things, let’s talk about classes for this week. Note we have no lessons on Monday or Thursday this week. So the group classes are:
Now for the serious part. Some reminders about good practice in dance class (group and private):
