Mon 20 Aug: No Class at Papanui, see you on another night.
Friday has a wide range of music from 80's through to current chart hits. It has a lively atmosphere with between 60 and 100 people aged 18 - 60. The hall has a huge floor and we provide mood lighting - ideal for getting into the weekend.
- Avonhead School Hall, 55 Avonhead Road, Avonhead
We have use of the staff car park and there is plenty of street parking nearby. See below for a map and more info.
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, 17 August 2018
Friday Beginners
We start with the basics followed by learning a few moves which you can immediately start to use in your social dancing.
You can start any week at any venue. Included in the evening is a 30 minute review session to ask questions and get one to one assistance.
Friday Intermediates
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.
- 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.
After the class is a review with the teacher 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 - 10pm | 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!
Outside Class
After class people often go into town to dance to live music. Join us on our Facebook group to keep in touch with what's going on:
