New Practice Session for Beginners/Beginners Plus
We are pleased to announce a new practice session specifically designed for Beginner and Beginner Plus dancers. This will take place on Wednesday evenings at the Nutana Legion from 7:45 PM to 8:45 PM. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity for our Beginner members to practice what they have learned in class. The music selection will consist solely of dance styles taught at the Beginner level, featuring songs chosen for their clear beats and accessibility.
The sessions will be hosted by Tanya D. Participation is on a drop-in basis, and no prior registration is required. If you have any questions regarding a move or technique, Tanya will be available and happy to assist you.
Waltz Workshop
We will be hosting our first term Workshop on October 19th, 2024. The dance will be Waltz at all levels, with instruction by the Club's principal instructor, Michael Milette. It will be held at Trinity Orthodox Hall (919 20th St W)
Workshops are great to attend because some of the patterns covered are not included in the regular curriculum, proving that there is always something new and exciting to learn, no matter what level you are at!
The schedule is as follows:
- Level 1:10:30 - 12:00
- Level 2: 12:30 - 2:00
- Level 3: 2:30 - 4:00
The cost will be $10 per session with payment at the door. Payment can be made with credit card, debit card or cash.
We strongly encourage members to bring a water bottle for the event.
