First off, let's talk about how popular you are! You might not know this, but now, whenever S&P Promotions (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063594513784) runs an event, they are often asked "Will those dancers be here tonight?" That's because people like to watch the Destine Dancers dance. You are likely a better dancer and more entertaining than you realise. Also, at the last awards night, our adjudicator, Jenny Rosenfeld, commented upon what a good group of fun and happy people we have at Destine Dance. This is because we focus on a sense of team - where everyone is there to help everyone else improve their dance ability. This was always my goal for Destine Dance - a focus on all the positives that dance can bring someone (from the social element to the beauty of its execution). So your popularity makes me happy. And in accordance with being social and improving we have the following events coming up:
Save the dates for the social events. And let me know about your interest in going so we can organise a table if an option and to catch up to get some dinner first. Get in now for the proficiency course - I need to ensure we get enough people before I run it. Second for this update, remember the group classes for this week (the second week for this cycle):
See you on the dance floor Clint

Hi {!firstname_fix},
It's been 3 weeks of the current group class cycle. The lessons this week are:
It's less than two weeks to the awards. Get your tickets here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p40/August_2024_Awards_night_-_Destine_Dance.html - if you need to. I have been asked about kosher meals - I will get something from Glick's or elsewhere similar if needed - so don't let that stop you inviting friends or family. The schedule for the night is:
We will also pause the group classes schedule for that week so we can work on other styles if you like. Let me know of any rarer styles you would like to try or even if you would like to stick with what we have been doing. It's about 4 weeks to the spring ball. Get your tickets here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p42/springball2024.html And it took less than a week for one of the new shoe brushes to go missing. Please check your shoe bag and such to see if it is there. Cleaning the shoes each lesson has been good for the floor so thanks to all who have been helping with that. See you on the dance floor. Clint Steele 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:
Second, awards are getting closer - 28 August 2024. Make sure that:
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. See you on the dance floor Clint This is the last week of the current cycle:
Note Wednesday! Next week we will teach:
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. See you on the dance floor Clint As you would have seen on the FB group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/DestineDance, Destine Dance is putting on a spring ball for the first time. You can get all the details here - https://www.facebook.com/events/2197230953985856/. This will be night dedicated to dance and socialising - what Destine Dance has always been about. So secure your ticket to enjoy a night of social dance - and to the music you choose.
The group classes this week are:
Finally, as a heads-up, we will not have classes on the 24th of July. The venue is not free then. See you on the dance floor Clint This week the group classes are:
As mentioned before, we have more class options now with the trial of the proficiency classes. You can see the details here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/proficiency-classes.html - remember that these are separate from other classes and you need to secure you place via the above link. Finally, we have more social events for you. This Saturday is a swing and blues event. You can see the details here - https://www.facebook.com/events/465991312615460. The night starts at 7:15 with a group class and then has a social to 11pm. It is at 44 Errol St North Melbourne. Get your tickets online. See you on the dance floor Clint Well everyone proved me wrong last week - we had a really good turnout at group class each night.
That means there are plenty of people to vote for and people to vote in our new group class student awards. Thanks to those who have already voted, we are starting to see some clear front runners for the most improved leads already. Please take the time fill it out two weeks prior to the awards so I can organise the trophies for the awards night. You can also edit your response - so you can do it now and then make changes as we get closer to the night. Take a look here - https://forms.gle/gMVidw6h37PtQ2pBA - to do the survey The greater numbers at group classes also mean that the group classes have been more social. Thanks to all who have come - it has been enjoyable simply being a part of social dancing like it is meant to be. And I look forward to more this week. The group classes are:
And in the spirit of social dancing, let's go out to some more events - it's been a while since we have done that. I have mentioned them on the Facebook group already, but, as a reminder and to organise you, the two upcoming events are:
See you on the dance floor Clint First off, the group classes this week:
This is the 5th week so we will start the following styles in a fortnight:
Speaking of the next cycle, we will run another 4 week program - https://www.facebook.com/events/469344612295445/469344632295443/ - if you know anyone who has not danced with us before and would like to learn, then please share the link with them. Some people have already shown interest in the proficiency group classes for the awards. And some have shown interest in doing the exhibition for the friendly comp. Once again, if you are keen on doing proficiency awards in this way, then let me know. Finally, thanks to Fotakis for organising Friday night. You can see photos on the Facebook group -https://www.facebook.com/groups/DestineDance. We had quite the full weekend with that and the Supremes. We will have more socials coming up as well. Always let me know what you are after. The next will likely have a Latin focus. See on the dance floor Clint Fist off - group classes this week:
Next cycle will be:
Second - remember the social outings we have planned. You should have already bought your tickets from Fotakis for the Greek night this Friday. But we will post the playlist for the dance break along with the suited dance styles in the Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/DestineDance Then on Saturday night we have the Supremes at Carnegie Hall - www.facebook.com/events/1162322321597499. 60 Rosstown Rd, Carnegie Doors open at 7 pm, but the band starts at 8:30 pm. So we can also go to dinner nearby first - after securing our table at the hall. Let me know if you are coming, so I can book the table, and if you want to go somewhere for dinner beforehand, so I can set up s system to organise us all. Third - let's talk about options for awards. As you will recall, if you were there, we had the first presentation dance by students who simply wanted to perform at the last awards night. Other students are now expressing interest in this, and creating partnerships to get ready for the next awards night on August 28. This means we now have a friendly comp' where you can dance and put on a show to entertain others. Let me know if you are keen on this and also start looking for a partner now. Do you want to do awards, but not the privates? I am thinking about organising an extra group class specifically for awards preparation. It would teach only a set number of dances, focus on the routines and be at the proficiency level for now. If you are keen on being involved in this, then let me know. The level of interest will determine if we take it further. Also, it would be at 8:30pm on Wednesday night or Monday night. See you on the dance floor Fist off, group classes this week:
Now let's talk social events:
Let me know if there are any other events (specific or dance type) you would like to attend. I will see what we can organise. See you on the dance floor Clint |
