As we come to the end of our classes for 2024, can I thank you for your continued support and wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
Since the last newsletter you have raised £140 for Hayward House with the Raffle at the Council House Dance in memory of Ryan,

we have taken part in a Tapathon for Children in Need as organised by Elevation Dance,
and will be starting our new course with a Quickstep Workshop at Beeston on Sunday 5th January. Beginners starts at 2pm. This leads into the new 7-week course in Quickstep and Rumba starting the following week. See details below.
Private Lessons
I teach private lessons at Bramcote on Friday evenings and have a place available if any one is interested. I can arrange the time to be either 6pm or 8pm with the cost being £30 for 50 minutes. Let me know if you may be interested.
Council House
Unfortunately I am unable to book the Council House for the Valentine’s Ball. The council will now only allow Saturday bookings if there’s another event on in the daytime. I could have the Friday night but I’m not convinced this will work out, particularly with those of you who are working. I’d be interested to know your thoughts.
Prospect Room
I am in the process of booking the fantastic Prospect Room for Sunday April 27th 2025. This is an amazing venue and it is an honour to be able to dance at the top of such a wonderful building, with incredible views, and to use the room for what it was originally intended. There are only places for 15 couples so let me know if you are interested.
