October Class Bookings Now Open

We are pleased to announce that booking is now open for our next 4 week block of classes which start in October. The procedure to book your place is the same, however there are a couple of changes to our timetable for October.   We will now be running two jive classes at Richards Castle and Ledbury, instead of one solo and one jive class. Also we will be teaching a different main move in the first and second class at all venues (both classes will still be suitable for all levels though).

As before classes, will be stay with your own partner or dance bubble partner (non-rotational) or solo-non partnered. Numbers will be limited for each class to ensure social distancing and COVID secure procedures will be in place.

Thank you for your continued support.

Class Restart - Details & How To Book

 

Classes, will be either solo-non partnered or stay with your own partner or dance bubble partner (non-rotational). Numbers will be limited for each class to ensure social distancing and COVID secure guidelines will be in place: https://coolmovesdance.blogspot.com/p/covid-19-class-guidelines.html 

As a result of only being able to have limited numbers at the class, we will reluctantly have to temporarily raise the price of a class to £6. Classes will need to be booked in advance in a 4 week block, you will not be able to just turn up on the night. A ticket for a solo dance class will be £24 and a ticket for a partnered Jive class will be £48 as this will be for two people. The booking system will work on a first come, first served basis, so once the places are filled you can be added to the waiting list. We would also suggest that if you cannot get a place on your first choice class, please try one of our other venues as they may still have places.

Jiving in the Park

As we can't dance in the street this year, we will be 'Jiving in the Park' instead. Come and join us for a relaxed afternoon of dancing and chat weather permitting. 

If you don't have a partner, don't worry, there will be lots of strolls for you to join in with. Look forward to seeing you there. 

Starting Classes Again

I am sure you all have been missing your dancing as much as we have, so we just wanted to give you a quick update on our plans with regards to restarting classes. As it stands, we are planning to restart classes in September in some form, which based on the current situation and government guidance is likely to be a combination of solo dance classes (strolls. charleston etc) and stay with your own partner (or a partner you have formed a bubble with) classes.

Class numbers would be reduced to ensure social distancing, classes pre-paid and pre-booked as well as other COVID-19 secure practices in place. 

We will continue to review government guidance etc and if possible may also run some test classes at the end of August. We will though, send out further detailed information on all this over the coming weeks. 

It's a shame we can't yet go back to dancing how it was, but hopefully this will give you something to look forward to in these strange times.

Best Wishes

Matt, Sarah & The Coolmoves Team xx

Learn 2 Jive Online Dance Hub Updated

Just to let you know that we have added new videos to our easy access Learn 2 Jive Online Dance Hub . If you want to teach your partner who is a complete beginner then you can start with the 1st Move and Man's Pass or for the more experienced maybe the Bopper and Scooby Doo. Don't forget there are plenty of other videos if you do not have a partner to dance with, such as Charleston Fit and Jazz routine's.

Also, if you have always wanted to try Lindy Hop or need a refresher then we suggest choosing the Lindy Turn or Lindy Circle video.

Lastly our On Demand Pilates page is also now live. Pilates is great for relaxing and de-stressing as well as toning and strengthening (improves core and lower back strength in particular and really helps dancers with balance and spinning).

All you need to do to access the videos is follow the page link and register for free on Vimeo and then you can purchase the videos of your choice. Any queries, just email us at info@coolmovesdance.co.uk
