Sunday, 12 September - Jive 'Taster' Lesson & Dance

Our next regular DJ Dance night is on Sunday 12 September, at the Richmond Club in Hereford as usual(see details to the left).

As a special one-off treat (as it's the time of year when people are looking for new activities), we've invited a couple of local teachers to come and give a jive 'taster' lesson at the start of the evening. So if you're not sure what jive is, but fancy finding out, or if you know what it is and want to start learning, come along on 12 September. You'll be taught a couple of basic moves, and you can then stay on for the dance afterwards and put them into practice, and you can watch those that have had more experience really going for it .... see what you're aiming at. If you already jive, it's an opportunity to try some different moves or different teachers, if you want. Information about various local classes will be available.

The lesson is 7.15-8.00 pm, and the dance 8.00-11.00 pm. Come for the lesson, come for the dance, or come to both .... whatever you feel like, you'll be welcome. It costs £4.00 on the door for the whole evening ... what a bargain! Regulars can be assured that from 8.00 we'll have our normal selection of great dance tracks for you to dance to. We're a friendly lot so don't worry if you've no partner or are a beginner - it's a great place to learn.

Look forward to seeing you there, and getting back to dancing after the 'summer' slow down!
