Learners breakup 2023

Lots of Christmas theme outfits were worn on Tuesday 5th of December for our learners break up. It was such a fun night of smiles and laughter while dancing with two squares on the floor. 

Our collection of second hand and new home made square dance outfits were made available. A few ladies gave new homes to some of the skirts. We hope they get years of enjoyment dancing in them. The outfits will also be available again this Friday night. 

With some extra bling being tried out from our clothing collection. The guys in particular got into the fun of the night when a few of them had a go at dancing the right hand side of the couple, traditionally danced by the lady. It meant a few movements instantly had an unfamiliar direction for some turns and hand positions. As soon as they decided to have a go, the kids were fitting them out with skirts.

It had been 20 years since Nifty had danced the right hand side. He has spoken of it often as common practise in the club he had come from, having the opposite to most clubs, with more men than ladies.  Hilariously, Nifty was obviously out of practice, forgetting what side he was on and who his partner was.

Matt also threw in an optional new movement for the learners, adding a twill after a swing. It was not optional for the guys trying the ladies side, resulting in even more laughter.

The evening finished up with some special Christmas treats for supper. The learners are also invited to the Free Christmas Dance and club break up this Friday. Supper will be a much bigger deal, along with a Christmas hamper raffle, lucky spot and door prize.
