If you are a beginner, then you can master the most difficult part...just by turning up.  Even the most accomplished dancers were beginners at one time!!
 

The Club started in January (2001), with the aim of allowing singles and couples to learn, dance and socialise in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

A 15 min 'Basic Footwork' session, commencing promptly at 8pm, has recently been introduced for those completely new to this form of dance.

This is followed by tuition for absolute beginners, provided by Louise & Olly. Beginner's classes run for 10 weeks but it is possible to join part way through, just turn up early and discuss with Louise. Lessons start at 8:15 and last about 30 - 40 mins.

Tuition for improver/intermediate dancers is provided by Pete & Jackie. Lessons usually start at 9:15 pm and last approx 30 mins.

Freestyle dancing is available in between lessons and until about 10:30 pm and we have a popular 'Stroll Spot' at 9pm.

It is stressed that having a dance partner is NOT essential as we practice 'progressive' rock n roll so you will get to dance with many 'partners' throughout the evening.

Authentic 1940's/1950's music is provided all evening for the lessons and freestyle sessions by one of our three DJs. This provides a great opportunity for practice and perfecting new moves.

Drinks, at reasonable prices, are available from the bar situated just off the dance area. During the summer there is access to 'fresh air' from the outside balcony. Entry to the club is a very reasonable £6 per person which includes tuition and free raffle.

We hope to meet you soon and know you will enjoy yourselves. Any queries, see contact details below. Just turn up on the night and make yourselves known and you will be assured of a warm welcome.
