Hello Everyone, Classes are going well, due to the continued support from all our members – we thank you. Welcome all the new members who have joined us. Stick with it as it can take time to feel comfortable with the steps and the line dance jargon – coaster, shuffle, pivots etc. You will get there, trust me 👍 Last month was particularly hot, and I hear it may do so again later this month. So remember to bring a bottle of water and wear some comfortable shoes. All the dances taught have been updated and are on the dances page, with the most recent ones below.

Hello Everyone It’s Easter and the eggs are out and counted! Well, Chris is happy and smiling, the little ones will not get a look in! (have put some in my special hiding place 😂) lol! Please note there is no class next Wednesday at the BeeHive due to the hall being in use by the NHS Blood Transfusion we will be back the following week 👍 Sorry for the late update, unfortunately, there was a bit of confusion on reception. Our Annual Dinner and Dance last month was another fantastic day of dancing and entertainment, with Chris sorting out the quiz. Such a lovely day with great company it all went way too quick. Such a wonderful day we just had to book next year’s date before we left 😊. Congratulations to Angela Pearce, Kathleen Cook, Julie Lewis, Janice Harvey, John Anderson, Diana Arbery and Helen Mitchell for winning the quiz.
