Group classes this week
As you know, this week we are running group classes with more esoteric styles given we have awards on Wednesday. This week the group classes are:

• Monday 7:30pm Street Latin - Zouk (a Brazilian dance that can be seen around Melbourne at times)
• Tuesday 6:30pm Latin American - Mambo (The American rhythm version of salsa)
• Thursday 6:30pm Ballroom - Viennese Waltz (the classic ballroom dance to spins hard)

Remember that next week we start a new cycle in Merengue, Jive, Lindy Hop and Tango (ballroom). So it is now a good time to get back into group classes - all the styles will be new and starting at beginner.
 
Tango this Sunday
Because we have just finished off 6 weeks in tango, now is a good time to go out as a group to experience some tango in a social context. Therefore, this Sunday, I will be going to one of the most welcoming events in Melbourne. Let me know if you wish to join me. Details here - https://tangoclub.melbourne/events/nft-project-milonga/
 
Private lessons available
We currently have a number of slots available for private lessons. So now let me know if you:

• want a few lessons to brush up on some skills for group class,
• want to get back into privates (even just to do something at the next awards),
• want to hone your skills in lead or follow for when you go out social dancing, or
• want to refresh or even learn some figures and styles you have an interest in.

We will then get you sorted.


See you on the dance floor
