Ballet Central Summer tour 2019

9th June 2019

Ballet Central summer showcase

Quite by accident I spotted an ad for the Ballet Central summer show at Chipping Norton theatre. Each year the graduating students from Central Ballet School do a summer tour around the UK as part of the Ballet Central touring company, so I decided it was worth checking out. I’ve not been to the ballet…

How to make your Christmas season dance calendar happen

When is a dance freestyle not just a freestyle

22nd May 2018

dance freestyles - what about dance

When I first started social dancing, salsa in my case, I was oblivious to the idea of a dance freestyle night.

Daventry freestyle Ceroc Passion - What about dance

It’s not often I have friends to go along to dancing with, but for the October Daventry Blue and sparkle freestyle run by Ceroc Passion, I had 2 dancing friends in tow.  Neither of them have been dancing regularly for a while, and certainly hadn’t been to a Daventry event for a long time so…

Local Strictly Banbury dance competition - What about dance

I’ve always been a fan of Strictly Come Dancing, and even more that, as a child years ago my mum would let me stay up late and watch Come Dancing.  I loved the formation teams the best.  In our area, there’s a ballroom and latin dance school who’ve organised local Strictly competitions for local heroes….

What really happens on a dance weekender

4th April 2017

what happens on a modern jive dance weekender - What about dance

I previously shared why everyone should go on a dance weekender or congress.  Now I’m sharing what actually happens on one.  Obviously everyone’s experience is different but after going on both Ceroc Escape weekenders, and Jive Addiction and Midland Swing weekenders, I can certainly share from my point of view.
