NEW TERM

Thursday 9th September - details

'The 4th Annual Ryan & Jenny Weekend'

Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd November 2009

The Ryan and Jenny weekend has become 'The Friendly Dance Camp' here in the UK. Last years event proving that 'to be a good event it doesn't have to be a big event'. We had a tremendous response from the attendees who loved the venue, the teachers, the music and the friendly atmosphere. The venue has one big room and one small room so places at the weekend are Limited. If you are a friendly, down to earth, nice person who does the Lindy Hop - This is for you!!!

Venue:
Bishops Cleeve Tythe Barn , Bishops Cleeve,
Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 8LU

Level 1 - You know a Swing Out, Charleston, some other 6 and 8 count moves and you can triple step. You are not very confident and struggle a bit socially to get it together.

Level 2 - You’ve been attending good quality Lindy Hop classes for 2+ years. You’re confident with Charleston, 6 and 8 count steps, and can dance socially with partners of various levels.

Level 3 - You’ve been attending regular, good quality Lindy Hop classes for 5+ years. You’re confident with Jazz Steps, aren’t afraid to try things out, and would dance socially with anyone of any standard to both slow and quick tempos. If you need to ask, the answer is no!
