23.01.2022 Happy birthday dance for Josh and Boris... plus a welcome dance for Nathan and Hind who are from Canada and who had no idea about our classes last night - but had literally flown in from Canada 2 hours prior and just happened to be staying at the accommodation at The Exford Hotel where we teach. They heard the music upstairs and came up and jumped into class!! What are the chances?!

22.01.2022 Our Level 2/Intermediate recap from last night. Sadly @rosihappi and Ryans final night with us. We wish them all the best on the adventures that lie ahead for them.

22.01.2022 Hands up if you enjoyed last weeks classes?! We have more of the same super fun times planned for tonight.... Theres simply no better way to spend a Tuesday night than out swing dancing with friends. 6pm - Beginners class - Brand new dancers are alway welcome in this class with no prior dance experience needed. Josh and Sarah will get you dancing without fail! We plan to work on 6-count swing with triple steps tonight. Many fun moves in store and plenty of giggles along t...he way. 7-7:30pm - we love seeing everyone hit the floor for social dancing! Stick around after class or come early... theres always some fab music playing. 7:30pm - Intermediate Class - well done to everyone who tackled some pretty tricky content last week. As always - we like to offer some classic content, some technique, and then some slightly more challenging content so that we appease all. . See you tonight! Sarah Wheaton, Josh Varcoe and Doorman Dan.

13.01.2022 G'day CBD! It's DANCE day and tonight we've got 2 action pack classes for you. In our 6pm beginner class were going to change up the rhythm we've been using the last couple of weeks. It's a perfect week to join if you've been meaning to come along and haven't had the chance yet. We start from scratch each week and new dancers are always welcome!... We've got practice time/social dancing from 7 and then in our intermediate class at 730 we'll knock it up a notch and learn some variations on some classic moves. Here's some Lindy inspo for your afternoon! Each year a dance event called Snowball happens in Sweden that goes for 7 nights and here is one of the comps from that week in 2019: https://youtu.be/U-2vS480FcY See you tonight!

08.01.2022 Hello CBD Dancers, After much thought and discussion we have decided to halt CBD classes for the next couple of weeks. We love teaching you every week and we're really going to miss seeing you. However, in the best interests of our friends and families and each other, we've decided to postpone classes. Once this is over, we'll be incredibly excited to dance with you all again. Stay tuned to our FB page for details.... Take care out there! Sarah, Josh and Dan

03.01.2022 Imagine if we were headed to CBD on Tuesday for a dance.... ahhh. That would be nice. Who knows when well be able to hold partner classes again, but its certainly something to look forward to. Looking back at some old videos today and they make me smile. Happy Sunday everyone. We hope to see you soon.

Come along to classes tonight and we'll put the dancing in your feet, and together we'll get it into you hearts and souls.. We've got some super dooper stuff planned for tonight's two classes. We are going to go NUTS and give you several of our favourite moves tonight. You won't want to miss tonight.... And... after a week of being all MIA, SARAH IS BACK! *hold the applause*. Let's make sure... she shares double the amount of styling tips and general wisdom tonight as punishment. ;) 6pm - TOTAL BEGINNER CLASS - Brand to to swing dancing, or still wanting to study and get those basic rhythms and moves down? This is the perfect class for you. Tonight will be all about our 6-count swing rhythm. Some rhythm, technique and a ton of fun moves including some spins, turns and dips! Why not grab a mate from work and drag them to class tonight? You won't regret it. And also, there's always beer and pizza at our venue to help make a night of it. 7-7:30pm - SOCIAL DANCING/DRINKS/QUESTIONS 7:30pm - LEVEL 2 INTERMEDIATE - This class is perfect for those dancers who know all the basics and want to explore variations, styling, deeper technique and broaden their swing dace vocabulary. Tonight we plan to offer some footwork variations, some spins and something special to end the phrase with! We've got it all! Bring your shoes and don't forget to arrive early for social dancing. (Psst....ask the teachers to dance.... they love it!) And if you've read all this way, we'll reward you with further work distractions.... a juicy long clip of a fantastic competition last year in the USA. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/fRpBHcrtuwI
