Fancy Freestyle Friday
Once a month (usually the third Friday) we have a longer period of social dancing and an opportunity to dress up a little bit more than usual for a special night out. There will still be a beginner class and review but no intermediate class and freestyle starting from 8:15pm.
Our next date is: Friday, 20 April 2018

Class moves this week (Fri, 20 Apr):
Beginner Review
The Beginners Review is included in the evening, it's 30 minutes long and is a great opportunity to ask questions and get one to one assistance.
Intermediates
Intermediate Class
We want everyone to have fun and be safe at our dance classes. To help with this we have a Dance WoF (Warrant of Fitness) that we ask everyone to pass before joining an intermediate class.
| 8.30 | Intermediate Class |
| 9.00 | Intermediate review to 9.15. Get one to one help, learn extra style and advanced tips directly from the teacher. |
- We teach 2-3 moves, one of which may be repeated from the previous week.
- We'll include extra technique points to help with safety and style.
- There are 20 base moves and technique points that are often included each class.
Intermediate Review
The Intermediate Review happens immediately after the class and is taken by the class teacher. It's approximately 15 minutes long and is a great opportunity to ask questions and get one to one assistance.
Social Dancing
Social dancing / freestyle is the time to have some fun and put it all into practice. We turn the lights down and the volume up for party time!
| 8:15 - 8:30 | Easy tempo, shorter songs |
| 9:00 - 10:15 | Great music variety! |
We encourage everyone to ask each other to dance, sometimes this can be a little daunting but our culture is to accept invitations to dance and there's no pecking order!
