All classes are on as usual this week except for Latin Goldstar which will be cancelled. Please check the calendar for the times and venues if you're unsure.

Please also be reminded to purchase dance club membership online if you have not done so and to bring either your membership cards or validation email printout for every class as we will be enforcing a very strict check.

Beginners Take Note: Latin practice at 6pm, Ballroom at 7pm

E-mail newsletter sent by Guo Heng, Wednesday 13th January 2010 @ 2:20pm

Dear Beginners,

    I know this is pretty last minute, but the beginner's latin practice today will be at 6pm while the ballroom practice will be at 7pm. This arrangement is just for today as Satin, our other latin coach will be replacing Mansi for today. 

   For those exclusively ballroom people who turned up early, I would find a place for you guys to practice. 

   Ballroom beginners today would be a free practice session where music will be played and you guys could practice yourself. Natasha is currently away competiting and would not be back till next week. This free practice session would simulate a competition environment where waltz and quickstep music would be played alternately and you guys would be able to practice in a dance floor with other couples dancing too. Its good practice for the upcoming competitions, so do turn up. And I would be there to help out and answer questions.

   Please inform your fellow beginners about this as some might miss this email. Thank  you.

Exciting news!

E-mail newsletter sent by Yvonne Liu, Wednesday 11th November 2009 @ 3:21pm

This saturday Satin will be holding a Micheal Jackson introduction class from 10-11 in the UCH 3rd floor of beit union. The class is to introduce beginners to the dance style of Micheal Jackson and give them an opportunity to pick up the choreos that existing members have been learning. A bit of background information: the class is run by Satin (our Latin dance coach) and Del (a professional hip hop dancer who founded funkology) and is completely FREE. We hope to teach beginners MJ routines so we can perform them throughout the year and also participate in the offbeat section of the dance comp IVDA in Feb. Usual classes are on sat mornings 10-12 with another session on wed evenings. I encourage everyone to try it out and please try to be there so we can start at 10 on the dot for the ballroom beginners. There will be other intro classes on as well but dont miss this one!

Halloeen Social TONIGHT!

E-mail newsletter sent by Yvonne Liu, Saturday 7th November 2009 @ 2:44pm

Hello everyone!

Tonight is our first dance social of the term  - with a halloween theme!  Yes we know we're a week late but we decided it's a lot easier to dress up a devil or a ghost compared to dressing up as a firework!

It's in the JCR tonight and it starts at 7pm and finishes at 11pm.  Please don't be worried if you've hardly done any dancing before.  Everyone will be very welcoming and will only dance to your ability.  It's a fantastic way to get to know everyone and also a great opportunity to learn some new, more fun moves off each other. So if you only started dancing a few weeks ago please still do come! It's not as scary as it sounds.  We will also be providing free food and drink, including alcohol! But supplies are limited so don't come too late or else it may all have gone.

We shall be playing a mixture of Salsa, Latin and Ballroom tracks, as well as playing chart, club tunes later on in the night so there will be something for everyone.

and most importantly it' all free =D
So I look forward to seeing you all in your scary costumes tonight.
