Monday at Papanui High School
With a wide range of music from 80's through to current chart hits, Monday has a great upbeat feel to kick off the week appealing to everyone from late teens to 60's. It has a lively atmosphere with between 40 and 70 people
There's plenty of parking at the school, turn right as you come in and park in the Staff Parking area (map below).
There is water but no cups at the venue so please bring a named water bottle with you.
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.
This class is aimed at anyone who has attended more than 10 classes.
- No need to have passed a Skills Check
- We teach moves for easy social freestyle, one of which may be repeated from the previous week.
- Ideal for developing lead and/or follow roles for both men or women.
After the class is a review with the teacher to ask questions and get one to one assistance.
In parallel to the Intro-mediate class we run a workshop review on the stage. You must have attended the full workshop in order to attend the review.
Time to have some fun and put it all into practice. We turn the lights down and the volume up for party time!
Freestyle is a great way to meet other people and a great way to stay in shape as you are exercising your whole body not just isolating certain areas.
| 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 there's no pecking order or bias - men ask women, women ask men, leads ask follows and follows ask leads. Check out our...
