Christmas in July 2019

Image
Our Christmas in July theme night was held Friday 19th of July. The night was very well attended with two squares on the floor most of the evening. It was also good to see a few more of our new dancers enjoying the evening. The dancing levels alternated between “club 50”, full mainstream, leaner Plus and full Plus. It was great to see the Christmas theme decorations and outfits worn on the night. Eric expanded his once a year tradition of dancing the right hand / ladies side, to twice a year, for one set for the night. Inspired by the Christmas theme, supper consisted of a larger than usual number of sweet treats, including cupcakes and chocolate. Our next theme night will be – Pirates, on Friday 16th August. Our next beginner’s class begins on Tuesday 20th August.
