PARTNER CHARLESTON MINI-COURSE

alastair.gra...@gmail.com (Al (OSDS)) — Wed, 05 May 2008 08:36:10 UT

Al and Helen are starting a 3 week mini-course tonight aimed at giving
you the basics of 1920s partner Charleston. It is intended for all
levels, but if you have an understanding of lead and follow and
Charleston footwork then you will find this even more fun
(hopefully!). See you tonight.

Hi Everyone
Having seen this show at the Pegasus Theatre, I would recommend it
to everyone! The actors are fantastic singers and dancers, and the
musicians get your feet tapping! The show is on tour now, so check
out the Oxfordshire Touring Company website to see where it's headed

Mike and Evita in the UK!

alastair.gra...@gmail.com (Al (OSDS)) — Fri, 03 Mar 2008 17:42:30 UT

Gloster Jive and Swing Dance are holding workshops with Mike and Evita
from the USA. In my opinion Mike and Evita are amazing and this
opportunity shouldn't be overlooked - they are some of the best new
talent in fun and fast Lindy-hop and Charleston. If you can get along
to one of these then GO!
