Hi Everyone

Happy New Year to everyone. It looks like the snow is disappearing for now anyway! Firstly welcome to our new beginners to our new term, relax and enjoy, remember we all started somewhere! This also means that we have lowered the level for intermediates so if you want to start again or re-fresh your Lindy Hop now is a great time to come back to class. We welcome all members new or returned to our friendly club!

We have a really busy spring lined up for you all with a selection of four Sunday Workshops including: The Shim Sham & Jitterbug Stroll - Improvers Lindy Hop Fundermentals - Original 1920's Partnered & Solo Charleston - The Dean Collins Shim Sham, something to suit all levels and tastes, Then we have 4 social dance nights, these are for everyone and are really friendly it doesn't matter how good you are the music is brilliant and watching is fine! The three Swing Outs are at Steeple Morden see below for details and dates:

Then we have our Spring Hop 'til U Drop Swing Dance with another terrific 40's & 50's Rhythm & Blues Band "The Zoltans" so do come along, We also have Canama Dance Shoes selling Aris Allen & Blyer Dance Shoes something for everyone! We welcome all dancers along including modern jivers & Rock'n'Rollers advance tickets on sale now!

Other News my daughter Hayley AKA "Lil' Miss Hayley" having been offered a gig for The Jive Aces in her own right on 2nd March at the Big Jive in Worthing, has teamed up with Jackson Sloan (formerly lead singer of Oo-Bop Sh'Bam) now has a new band which Hayley will be working with for this, and more gigs to follow. It's a great new challenge for her and I hope loads of people go to the All Dayer to see her perform alongside Si Cranstoun, The Regular Joes and of course The Jive Aces! it will be a great day out 1pm-1am! (Group booking tickets available in class.)
