Update 26 April 2021 - Cancellations and dance fitness

In this update:

• Lesson bookings - apologies and requests

• New cycle starting soon
• Short video from the awards night
• Dance Fitness

Lesson bookings
Apologies to those who found the studio was not available for their booked lessons over the weekend. There was a communication breakdown that resulted in the studio being double booked. Thank you for your understanding. Your teachers have ideally by now organised makeup lessons.

On the topic of lesson cancellations. Please do your utmost to give your teacher fair warning if you need to cancel. That allows us to organise other students. When you cancel - especially if it is late - rent still needs to be paid for the space and your teacher will be left at the studio with no lessons (and thus no pay). I am sure you can imagine the issues this causes. We understand that emergencies can happen and account for that, but if possible, then please give us plenty or notice. We have been able to avoid cancellation fees and we would like to keep it that way.

Lesson themes for this week
We are still teaching the same dances:

• Tuesday Street Latin (6:30pm) - Kizomba and bachata
• ​Wednesday Latin and ballroom (7:30pm) - Quickstep and Rumba
• Thursday Swing and Rock & Roll (6:30pm) - R'n'R and blues

But the difference this week is that we will start to focus more on linking figures so that you can dance them socially.

Next cycle
In two weeks we start the new cycle. There has been a request for argentine tango so that will be in the mix. But please let me know of other styles you would like to see taught.


Also, that means there is another intro 4 week cycle for beginners who are new to the studio. Please let anyone you know who is thinking about learning to dance know about this course.

Short video of the awards night

Dance Fitness
I am currently speaking with people about proving a dance fitness program during the day. This will be separate from our current offering, but we will offer discount to active Destine Dancers who are interested and others part of the Wickers community. Please let me know if you are interested. Also let me know of anyone who might like to teach it - I am currently in talks only so there is opportunity for anyone.


Have a great week
