Pat's Patter

[Pat Noakes]

We've had a great start to February and will continue to work on swing outs in beginner classes following with our "Candy Man" Charleston routine.

Tuesday's second class will continue to learn the stroll "Doin' the Jive" for a couple more weeks. Love the music for this jazz routine.  If you're not sure what this is, you can check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgEqg22zAM0.  It's not too late to come in if you want to give it a try.

There are a few things on this weekend if you'd like to check the events shown in the diary below - not all venues will have spaces to dance, please contact them if you need more information.
