Update 5 August 2024: Your Shoes!

 
Before we talk about shoes and other things, the group classes this week 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)

Now about your shoes.

Investigations have revealed that shoes are a major contributor to unclean floors at the studio. The floors are cleaned on Mondays, but then on the other days, debris is leaving shoes, and being left on the floor. The shoes likely picked up the debris on the other days (as the floor naturally builds up more debris). So, while the floors are being cleaned, the effort is undermined by the debris collected on shoes during the other days. Therefore, please make it a habit to clean your shoes when you arrive at the studio. You can use the brush we have there. This assumes you are wearing dance shoes with suede soles – if you have regular shoes, then please just do your best to wipe them when you arrive. This way, we can all enjoy a clean floor.

This Sunday.

Now let’s talk about the awards.

I have ordered the trophies for the awards night so please make sure you have been contacted if you are doing the awards to confirm details.
Also:

• If you’re not doing the awards or you know another who wants to come to the night, then secure tickets here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/awards-night.html.
• Please also make sure you have voted for the group class awards - https://forms.gle/ztX6wC5k69ig1dMW9 – if you have not yet.

Next, the social night coming up on September 14.

Tickets are already being bought, but get yours here if you have not yet - www.destinedance.com.au/store/p42/springball2024.html. This is a night where you do nothing but dance and dance the styles you want to dance.

Finally, an open day.

The Elsternwick Park Sports Club (the organisation that manages the venue where we have our classes) is having an open day on September 8. Entry will be free and Destine Dance will be doing two things:

1. Putting on a class for those there.
2. Showing what it is like to go out to a social event.

For these, I would like your help. Simply show up, have a free class, dance socially, and tell people how great it is to learn dance at Destine Dance. This would be at 2pm on the day. Let me know if you are keen to join in.
 
See you on the dance floor
