4th Week of the month: 7.30 pm |
| In the 4th week of each month we have special evening dances for experienced dancers only. We shall be
enjoying more complicated dances with less teaching, and a few old favorites with minimal calling. These Advanced Dances are for experienced dancers only - no beginners please. If you love crossover mirror heys and double figure-of-eights, and only need to walk most dances through once at our Sunday classes, then these evenings are for you! However, if you still find a straight hey for three confusing, and prefer to walk all the dances several times, then you are not yet ready for these Advanced Dances. Please come to our Sunday dances at 6pm when all the basic moves are thoroughly taught. If you are unsure whether you should try our Advanced Dance please ask one of our callers. |
|
The next advanced dance will be on Tuesday, April 29th in Santee, with caller Janet Arnold. Click here for directions... 7:30-9:30pm, only $5 at the door We will be practising dances from our May 3rd Ball program - ALL WELCOME. |
