The Shoe Swing first birthday 'Cabaret Night' on the 23rd
was the most spectacular success! The 'acts' included a Hula-Hoop
routine from Poppy & Cat, a superb clarinet performance from 'Plish', a
truly amazing dance routine from Hot Rhythm Riot, a facinating belly dance from
Yasmin, a superb swing-dance routine from Christi & Paul, and the
eye-wateringly, funniest-ever, 'tribute' to Kate Bush from Ken Bush & The
Babooshka's - in a word, BRILLIANT! When's the next one? Watch this space...
==========================================================
EVERYONE is welcome at this night, which is dedicated to
swing/lindy hop/jive/balboa/blues & 'partner' dancing... Easy-to-learn (and
FUN!) tutored lessons/workshops are run each week from 7pm till 8pm for
'beginners', and from 8pm to 9pm there are separate lessons for 'improvers' and
for ‘blues dance' (all levels), followed by ''social dancing'' from 9pm.
~~~~
NO NEED TO BOOK! Just turn up! You don't have to bring a
partner - there's always plenty of people to dance with. And there's no 'dress
code', although loose & comfortable clothing is recommended [some people
like to 'dress-up', though!].
~~~~
At 9:00pm,
'social dancing' starts! This is when you can practice new-found skills,
strut-your-stuff and dance the night away, or simply sit back, chat with
like-minded people, have a drink, snap your fingers & tap your toes while
you enjoy the coolest, grooviest music on this swingin' green sphere played by
Scotland's swinginest DJ - LENNY LOVE (aka 'Dino Martini' from award-winning club "VEGAS!''), plus a 30 minute set from a guest DJ each week!
~~~~
Tutored lessons cost £4:50 (£3:50 conc) for either session
or £8:00 (£6:00) for both.
''Social Dancing'' only is £2, but FREE to anyone that's
taken a class!
