2) SWING AT THE PILOT - NEW BEGINNERS' CYCLE STARTS TONIGHT
Tonight is the first Tuesday of the month so we're starting a new cycle for the beginners' class. These beginners' classes run in a monthly cycle, with each week building on the material learnt in the previous weeks that month. Absolute beginners will therefore find it easier to start on the first Tuesday of the month, when we assume no prior knowledge at all. This month we will be covering the essential elements required for that classic Bal-Swing move the Throwout. The classes will be suitable for complete beginners, but will also be useful for more experienced dancers wishing to brush up their basics and make sure their throwout is really snappy and dynamic.
Timings for the night are:
7.30 - 8.20pm Beginners Balboa class
8.30 - 9.20pm Intermediate Balboa class
9.30 - 11pm Social dancing
Price: £8 gets you either one or both classes.
FREE ENTRY for the social dancing after 9.30pm.
The Pilot is a lovely venue with a great atmosphere where you can relax with drinks and pub food available throughout the evening. Their function room has a nice wooden floor for dancing. There is free social dancing after 9.30pm which, as always, is open to anyone and all styles of swing dancing.
Note: We are in the separate function room building. Walk through the bar and into the rear garden to find it.
(The nearest tube station is Gunnersbury on the District line.)

3) CHRISTMAS DINNER AND DANCE - 1ST DECEMBER

Please note that you must book and pay in advance for the meal. Entry to the social dance is free and is open to everyone from any kind of swing dance.

There is no entry charge, but you will need to pay in advance if you would like to join us for the meal. The meal costs £23 for two courses or £28 for three courses. Please see the menu to make your choice here: http://www.lindycircle.com/calendar/Xmas_Party_Menu_P128.pdf
BOOKINGS
Please email us to reserve your place for the meal, or speak to us at class. We will then ask you to confirm your menu choice and arrange payment. If you just want to join us for the social dancing after the meal then there's no need to book - just turn up on the night.
