Freestyle Waltz Workshops

Freestyle waltzing for everyone!

Sundays 2:30pm to 4pm at Hothfield Village Hall.  ?5 per session.

November 9th
November 23rd
November 30th
December 14th
December 21st

Ever wanted to join the dancers swirling around the dance-floor to the freestyle waltz at the start or end of a dance?

Come and learn the basics. Once everyone can walk in waltz time, we will show you lots more variations you can add to your repertoire. It's easier than you think to look great on the dance-floor!

No partner required.

The workshop will last an hour and a half, with the last half an hour being freestyle waltzing so you can practice what you have learned. Karen and John will be available during this last half hour for individual tuition. Although you will get the most benefit from attending all of the workshops, we do understand that not everyone can make that much commitment.  So we will make sure that whichever ones you come to you will learn some great waltzing.

Please e-mail info_at_contrafusion_dot_co_dot_uk if you are interested.

Stimulating Squares: A Square Dance Workshop with Rhodri Davies
These fascinating figures are designed to be performed as a display; they are great fun and guaranteed to give you a sense of achievement after dancing them.

We have had lots of requests for more square dances, so we have booked one of the best callers on this side of the Atlantic to teach you some great dances.  The workshop will include some of the great figures from the Lloyd Shaw display set that he taught some of you three years ago. Guaranteed to be great fun!
