Music for Dancing
Dennis Samuel is your Dancing Host.
BALLROOM & SOCIAL DANCING CLASS:
Welcome to an introduction to our Ballroom and Social Dancing Classes on a Thursday evening, at Milber near Newton Abbot. The class is from
7pm to
9.30pm. The first half hour is for basic steps, ideal for beginners to start out and learn how to hold your partner, move and balance in Ballroom Dancing. Then, from 7.30 the main class begins with instruction in all types of Ballroom Dancing as well as the Social Sequence Dances that we always do when attending a properly run dance.
These classes are just right for those who have never danced before, have two left feet or are stone deaf when it comes to music. Yes, we’ve heard all of these excuses before but we have also heard the joy when someone makes progress and learns to dance. We also welcome regular dancers who want to brush up on their Social Dancing skills. We particularly welcome Gentlemen dancers as we always have a number of ladies looking for a dance partner and in addition we welcome couples who are about to get married, who want to make that first dance at their reception a special occasion. Attendance is usually between 10 and 38 dancers so pleanty of room for everyone.
In the classes we cover all types of dancing from Ballroom: Waltz, Quickstep, Foxtrot etc, to Latin: Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, and the Social Sequence dances such as the Mayfair Quickstep, Square Tango, Rumba N° 1 and many, many more. We will also be doing other types of dancing including Rock & Roll, Salsa, Line and Barn Dances. In fact, everything for you to be able to get on the floor and DANCE.
The Classes are at St Lukes Church Hall. Laburnham Road
Milber. TQ12 4LQ (Near the Penn Inn roundabout) Most of you will have seen the church, up on the bank beside the road. It lays back, is a white square building with a green pointed roof. Go up the slip road, turn right and the hall is on your right. For more information please contact your host, Dennis Samuel.
Those first steps were difficult for us when we were learning so we know what you will be going through and know we can help you overcome your fears. Maybe it’s the Summer season of Dances and Balls or it could be a forthcoming Wedding. Did you sit out at that last firms dance? Or is New Year upon us and you want to see out the old year, along with other like minded people, dancing the night away. If so then now is the time to learn. Dancing helps to keep you fit and is a wonderful way to meet others so do come along, Thursday evenings, 7 to 9.30 We look forward to seeing you, on the dance floor.
We have been asked to advertise what dances we are teaching in future weeks and so we are happy to do so.
Each featured dance is taught for three weeks with a new dance every week so this week it will be the third week of a particular dance, the second week of one we started last week and the first week of a new dance. This is in addition to the usual practice sessions for basic steps. We also try to fit in any dances that are requested.
1st July Third week of MISSISIPI DIP. 2nd Week of VALENTINO JIVE. NOTE: We are hoping to start a three week course of The WOODSIDE WALTZ (Popular at Sid Gateley's and John Westlake's dances) With SIROCCO RUMBA the following week.
