Workshops, courses and BootCamp for 2020!
New-2-Blues course - February 2020. If you know of anyone who is keen to make the transition into Modern Blues, do let them know.
Creative Conversation Workshop - Sat 15th Feb in Buckden. A workshop aimed at dancers of intermediate level or above. . How to become creative within the dance partnership - without sacrificing the principles of lead and follow.
BeSwitched Workshop - Sat 21st March in Buckden. A second chance to join us for this very popular workshop! Smoothly and seamlessly learn how to share the lead and add an extra layer to your dance.
SLAM Workshop - Sat 18th April 2020 in Buckden. Craig Hawtree, a winner many times over at Crystal Blues, has agreed to come and share some of his dance knowledge with us. Suitable from basic to advanced level.
Blues BootCamp - 20th/21st June 2020 in Buckden. We believe the most effective way to boost your Blues Dancing (whatever stage you are at) is through a Blues BootCamp. Thorough, intense and fabulously effective.
Classes, Workshops and BootCamps - if you'd really like to be a better dancer, it takes more than just attending freestyles. As the saying goes, 'If you always do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got...'
The Bigger Picture:
Winter is upon us and it is a time of struggle for a lot of people.
We will be collecting for the food bank at all of our December events so if you have any spare tins/packets/toiletries/small gifts you can spare we will make sure they get to the people who need them most.
We'll also be collecting warm clothing, boxer shorts (size small/medium) socks and warm/waterproof coats for our homeless friends - if you have anything you think might be suitable, we'll take it.
There are also lots of families that struggle at this time of year. We will also be collecting gifts for children who find themselves in difficult situations. Possibly through having to flee abusive homes etc.
I know we all have families, charities and projects that we support so please don't feel a pressure - but anything you can spare will be gratefully received.
Planning ahead
We have finalised most of our freestyle dates for 2020 now and you can find these on our Event Calendar on the website and also in our Annual Planner in a nice and neat list! I do like a good list!
CLASS NIGHTS
Sunday's in Buckden - from 7.30pm til 10.30pm.

The best way to learn to dance is at a dance class - but dance classes need your support to survive... We'd love to see you.
