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

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
