Pat's Patter: FFF Dance on Saturday, Class Info,

[Pat Noakes]

Flat Foot Floogie Dance is THIS SATURDAY 20 February 2016

$10 + a supper plate or $15

We're glad to be back after our summer break - come in for another great evening of dancing.  Class tables will be reserved as usual, please let me know if you wish to keep some seats aside to sit with friends.

St Matthews Church Hall, Cnr Warrigal & High St Roads, Ashburton.  

Please park and come in through the church entrance on the side street, so that we can have more table space in the hall near the car park door.

The dance starts at 8:00pm.  BYO whatever you would like.  Cold water, tea and coffee with supper will be supplied.  Please bring a little something to put on the supper table for everyone to share when we take a break at 10:00pm

                Class Info:   

My thanks to those people who 'hung in there' and learned "Doin' the Jive" on Tuesday nights - looking forward to dancing it at the FFF on Saturday so if you wish to revise it go to  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgEqg22zAM0.   Next week, Tuesday's second class will start "Swing Mambo" - lots of fun!

Monday and Thursdays classes will start on new work at the beginning of March so a great time to come back if you've been away.   Lots of great new people to meet in both classes.

Swing Classes in Forest Hill

We have been asked by lots of our ex students from the old Croydon, Ringwood & Mitcham classes to reopen a swing class close to them - sorry can't do it - but I'm very pleased to let you know (if you haven't already found out) that Rusty and Lexi are teaching 7:30 to 9:30 pm at Forest Hill Hall Canterbury Rd Forest Hill near southeast corner of Springvale Rd. which is not all that far from Mitcham.  Check out their classes: https://www.facebook.com/groups/143385382695696/
