CLASSES
Every Monday 7.30-11pm
You'll find us every Monday, apart from the August Bank Holiday at The Elm Community Centre in Estover.
We start with a 30 minute beginners class, followed by coaching for the New Bees or a 30 minute intermediate class for the more experienced dancer.
Then, we all come together for 2 hours of freestyle dancing to some new tunes, and old favourites, from our very own DJ Shauny. Requests are encouraged to ensure you get to dance to the music you love.
For the last 30 minutes we will slow down the tempo of the tunes for everyone to enjoy some smooth jive/blues time.
Doors open 7.30pm and dancing continues until 11pm
First night £3
Members £8
Non Members £10
