Swing Dance Workshop and Social Dance, Saturday 27th May, Camerons Hall

Inger from Westland District

I’ve talked about making something like this happen, now it’s here and I thought I should share it via Neighbourly! Swing dancing based on dancing in the US that developed in the 20s, 30s and 40s.

I’ve talked about making something like this happen, now it’s here and I thought I should share it via Neighbourly! Swing dancing based on dancing in the US that developed in the 20s, 30s and 40s.

Spaces for the swing dance workshop are limited to 30 so get in quick.
The evening social dance doesn’t need booking. Both will be led by Alicia, dancer and tutor from Swing Town Rebels in Christchurch – she features in the photos in the flier attached!

Workshop: Saturday 27th May, 10am-5pm, Camerons Hall, $20 to be paid in advance. (Tea and coffee provided, bring your own food/lunch/water bottles.)

Book via WestREAP: reception@westreap.org.nz or 03 755 8700. They’ll email you details about payment etc.

Social dance: Date and place as before, 6.30pm, $5 on the door. I thought we could bring snacks to share.

Comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes will be appropriate, though probably not rubber soled trainer type shoes as a bit of slippiness is a good thing! The other handy thing to know is that we’ve moved on from male/female partners, it’s now called leader and follower, and often women can be leaders (of course!) when there are more women than men. Also, I think we’ll learn some steps as a group and then continue in pairs, moving round partners so we all get to learn together.

The music and the dancing will make you smile – I love it!
Please share with like-minded folk, hope to see you there and hope this is the start of something big!

Inger

Masterchef winner, TV personality, author, and celebrity chef Chelsea Winter will be in Hokitika as part of our Winter Festival on the 3rd May at 7.00pm.

Chelsea will be giving an illustrated talk with a Q&A at the end. Her books - including her latest ‘Scrumptious’, along with ‘Homemade Happiness’, ‘Everyday Delicious’ and ‘At My Table’ - will be available to purchase and have signed by Chelsea.

Proceeds from this event will go towards the Hokitika Lion’s fundraising efforts for a huge new Christmas Tree to be located at the entrance to Hokitika.

Bring family and friends and be ready to be inspired.
A supper prepared by students from Westland High School, and using Chelsea’s recipes, will be available for a gold coin donation. There will also be a bar available, along with tea and coffee.

“With my recipes, anyone can cook delicious food for their family and friends. Even if you feel like you’re a complete egg in the kitchen, you’re gonna be fine. That’s why I write and test every single one of my recipes at home in my kitchen (and Mike is my chief taste tester – it’s all very scientific). I only use everyday ingredients that are easy to find at the local. And the food is designed so even finicky eaters of the family will enjoy it. So what are you waiting for? Have a look, get inspired and get your beautiful self into the kitchen!" Chelsea Winter

The event is being kindly sponsored by Monteiths and Take Note.

Have your power prices gone up?

Electric Kiwi

Households are being told to shop around for better power deals as some power companies lifted their prices in April. On the flip side, smaller companies like Electric Kiwi won't be raising power prices this year and are challenging the big power companies to do the same.
