Our Wednesday Night West Coast supplementary is up and running. For the rest of June and July, it's restricted to dancers who have completed our Essentials series or who are part of our current series. From August 5th, we will be starting a new Essentials series and we'll accept new students on Wednesdays if you're unable to attend Sundays. From then, Wednesday lessons will mirror the Sunday lesson, which will still cost just $10, but Wednesday will cost just $5 if you've already attended that Sunday's lesson, otherwise $10.
Sunday West Coast Swing is moving along. Our first timers are benefitting by dancing with our Essentials repeaters and they in turn are benefitting by repeating their Essentials. It doesn't matter how many times Essentials is repeated, there will always be something you learn which you missed first time round. The Challenge lesson is just that, but the sequence is starting to come together now with dancers coming to grips with the finer points which make the dance look and feel good.
Tuesday & Thursday Rock'n'Roll starts a new sequence from June 30th. First move in the sequence is named the "Suzie" in memory of our good friend Suzanne Mutch who recently lost her fight against cancer.
Our 'Back to Scarborough' dance on the 20th June raised nearly $350 for Suzanne's children Sam and Thomas. If you would like to make a contribution to either one or both, we will post bank details here for you as soon as we have them so you can make a direct contribution to their future.
