Classes are held at the Frankton Rugby Sports Club from 7 - 7.45 pm on Wed club night. After the lessons is our regular club night which you are encouraged to stay on for. Free tea/coffee/milo and a biscuit is available.
Your teaching team is lead by experienced dancers and teach in an informal, friendly environment.
- - No previous experience is required
- - Wear comfortable shoes ( rubber soled shoes are much harder to dance in)
- - Bring a sense of humour
- - Normal clubnight entry fee $5 [members $3]
- - Prepare to enjoy it
- - Partners not required.
- .....but
it makes a big difference if you can come as a couple,
we are always short of guys. Guys who learn to
dance have
the girls lining up.
- - If you are unable to come as a couple we will try to arrange partners by mixing and matching either with other beginners or club members who volunteer their time and are prepared to assist with the lessons.
- - During the lessons, all partners will be
regularly swapped
around, in a circle, so you will get to dance with
both
other beginners and some experienced dancers.
When, sometimes, we cannot balance the genders as you move around the circle you may not have a partner for a short time. - - If you come as a couple then you can either choose to
stay together or for a recommended better learning experience...join
the mix!
