Just a quick reminder that Swing at the Pilot returns tonight after our break last week. This week we're starting a new beginners' block based on Pure Balboa.
1) Swing at the Pilot - Balboa Classes & Social Dancing
2) Forthcoming Teaching Schedule
***********************************************************
1) SWING AT THE PILOT - BALBOA CLASSES & SOCIAL DANCING
We're starting a new beginners' cycle this week. This month's topic will be Pure Balboa (i.e. closed-hold Balboa). 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. 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 Pure Balboa is fluid, relaxed and dreamy.
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.)
