Hi all,

As always, thanks so much for coming to class/subscribing this week!

🤠 NEW WEEKLY BEGINNERS LINE DANCING CLASS – BOOKINGS NOW OPEN! 🤠

I'm excited to announce that from Monday 6th July I'll be launching a brand-new Beginners Line Dancing class at Manorbrook Primary School, Thornbury, starting at 7:05pm. Whether you've joined me for one of my previous Line Dancing Specials or you've never tried line dancing before, this class is designed to be friendly, welcoming and fun for everyone.

Line dancing is a fantastic way to keep active, improve coordination, enjoy great music and meet new people – and you don't need a partner! We'll learn dances step-by-step, with plenty of repetition and support, so beginners can feel comfortable while more experienced dancers can continue to build their repertoire. If you've attended one of my special events, you'll already know how much fun line dancing can be!

The class costs £7.50 per session and bookings are open now. Interest has already been strong, so if you'd like to join us, I'd encourage you to book sooner rather than later. I'd love to fill the room with both familiar faces and brand-new dancers as we start this exciting new chapter together.

After many years of Monday night Zumba, it's a little sad to be saying goodbye to a class that has been part of the timetable for so long. However, with numbers having been low for some time, it felt like the right moment for a fresh start in this time slot. Don't worry though – Zumba isn't going anywhere! The Thursday evening Zumba class at 6:00pm will continue as normal, so there will still be plenty of opportunities to dance, sweat and have fun.

Pilates and Barre Spaces

The final term of Pilates and Barre before our summer break starts next week. Most Pilates classes are fully booked, just a couple of spaces available in the Thursday 8pm class. Barre has a few spaces available in each class.

The new terms start next week and are £42 for 6 weeks. Then we are off for August and classes will resume in September. If the class you're interested in is fully booked then get in touch to be added to the waiting list for September.

All classes are run in Alveston and are at the following times:

Pilates:

Tuesdays 11:15am - Fully Booked

Tuesdays 6pm - Fully Booked

Thursdays 11:30am - Fully Booked

Thursdays 7:05pm - Fully Booked

Thursdays 8:05pm - 2 spaces available - open for booking on the website as either a block or PAYG.

Save The Date For Line Dancing!!!

On 4th July the White Lion in Thornbury are holding a Country and Western Day to raise money for the Childrens' Hospice South West and guess who's been asked to run a Line Dancing Class for them!? Thanks to all of you who tagged me in their Facebook post looking for a Line Dancing Instructor!

We're still sorting the timetable, but it looks like I'll be there 5-5:45pm to get everyone up and boogieing (is that a word?). It's quite scary for me to teach a bunch of people I don't know, so I'd really appreciate some friendly faces in the crowd, so please do come along if you're free! There's going to be so much more than Line Dancing there, so it's definitely going to be worth popping down if you're about!
