WFJC – A change of direction

After a year of running classes here in Warrandyte, with the numbers dropping off, the committee has decided on a change of direction.
Now that some are confident enough to dance in public we are searching for suitable venues, bars, clubs, restaurants to go for a social dance, possibly with dinner.
If you know of any ‘suitable’ venues please let us know.  Has anyone been to Alfred’s Homestead or the Veneto Club?
When we find somewhere we shall let you know – you can always come along even if you don’t dance!

NOW GET THE DVD!

It is a club which has been started up by people who like to get together to dance.  Everyone is welcome, with or without a partner.  French Jive is very easy and great fun so no previous dance experience is required.  There will be an opportunity to learn and plenty of time to enjoy social dancing. You are welcome to come along just to watch, but be warned you may find that you cannot resist having a go!

Rules are few for the dancers:

• In the ‘class’, we rotate partners every couple of minutes  – this allows everyone to have a go, you meet new people and it encourages you to learn from others and teach those that are struggling.  Staying with the same partner encourages you to get into ‘bad’ habits.
• Anyone can ask anyone else to dance – Ladies you don’t wait for the men to ask!
• It is all for fun – we don’t take ourselves too seriously
• Learn the basics BEFORE adopting your own ‘style’ – making an incorrect signal or lead can result to an accident!
• He who leads is ALWAYS to blame – If it goes wrong and you end up standing there looking at each other – have a laugh and ‘start all over again’.  It happens all the time.
• Be aware of your partner and the people around you – when you look around you will notice that everyone has the BIGGEST smiles.
