Medal Test

Medal Test Saturday 19^th May 2012

On Saturday 19^th May 21 pupils from Dancetime arrived at North Holmwood Village Hall to take part in our Medal Test.

Candidates entered between two and four medals each showing the hard work and dedication they put into their lessons.

The session started with the Paso Doble ably danced by three of our Springers.

This was followed by our Stardance candidates. The examiner, Mrs Lawler of the IDTA went on to examine freestyle, street and line dance entries.

The morning culminated with our youngest pupils demonstrating their prowess at ballroom dancing at the Rosette level.

Everybody dressed smartly and danced their socks off.

The morning ran to time and all seemed as relaxed as they could be.

Thanks go to Tina, Esme and Lucy for their assistance in organising and running the morning.

Medals and certificates will be presented in class on 27^th and 28^th June. Parents are invited to attend.

Dance Party

Happy Birthday Emily!

Having turned 8 years old on 14^th May Emily celebrated her birthday with a dance party run by Dancetime on  Sunday 20^th May 2012.

The party was held at Emily’s house where the living room had been cleared to give enough jigging space! Emily and her guests danced for an hour to various rhythms, giggling most of the time.

There were fun dances, disco, line and even rock and roll to gyrate to. Towards the end of the session we heard a plaintive cry of “Can we rest now?”

By all accounts a good time was had by all.

When the dancing was over Emily went on to enjoy the rest of her party and tea.

Dinner and Dance

Dinner and Dance at Gatton Manor

On 11^th February 2012 Gatton Manor Hotel, Ockley hosted a dinner dance in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

Dancetime was invited to provide the evening’s dancing. A challenge not to be missed! Beryl was assisted by Esme in demonstrating and teaching the dances.

Guests enjoyed a three course meal and then took to the dance floor for 90 minutes tuition in basic Ballroom and Latin American.

Afterwards, the newly acquired skills were put to practice to exciting Latin and ballroom music and the more experienced dancers had the opportunity to excel.

Later in the evening a few line dances were taught causing much hilarity.

The event concluded with a couple of popular disco tunes and of course the inevitable slow number!

As different styles of dance were taught everyone found a rhythm they enjoyed and ventured on to the dance floor.

There were many smiling faces, and the remarks made as people left confirmed that everyone had enjoyed themselves.

Esme commented that everyone was having such fun and that the evening was a resounding success.

Look out for the next one!
