Hello everyone! 👋
We hope you all enjoyed learning St. Louis Shag with us last Monday! Let’s keep exploring new styles and different ways to dance in Swing, and next Monday is .… Slow Bal! 😊
Ever wondered what you can dance to slower songs? Slow Bal could be a great option! Balboa doesn’t always have to be danced to fast music — it can be just as groovy, smooth and relaxed.
Graeme and Sarah will be teaching us next Monday. Join them from 7:30 pm for both beginner taster classes. It’s for everyone, even if you’ve never danced Balboa before. So come along, give it a try and have some fun! 😄
We hope you’re enjoying the rest of the summer! Here are some amazing events coming up that you won’t want to miss! 👇
29th August – Bal Brunch: Vintage Special
Hosted by Geoff and Mim, the monthly free social dancing returns at Holy Hobo from 2:30 to 5:45 pm. Dress in vintage if you like and come along for a relaxed afternoon of dancing, a bring-&-share table, and a bring-&-buy vintage rail. A friendly and welcoming event, especially for newer dancers.
