Hello all!
As discussed at classes last Sunday, we’ll be taking a break for the next 2 weeks with no Lindy Hop classes on Sunday 20th and 27th October.
This only effects Sunday Lindy classes. Monday’s solo jazz classes will continue as usual.
Looking forward to seeing you all back for more fabulous Lindy Hop on Sunday 3rd November!

If your feet are still itching after our fabulous workshop and tea dance last week, then you’re in luck!
Our regular classes are on today (Sun 13 Oct) with Fundamentals at 5.30 and Improvers at 6.45/7. Then we’re finishing early at 8pm (sorry folks, no intermediate class tonight) so that we can all go and swing out to the toe tapping music of Benny Lee and his Whistle Stop 5 at Live Jive (http://www.livejive.eu/LiveJiveDates.aspx) in Radcliffe on Trent.
Tickets for Live Jive will be available on the door so if you want to come along and join us then please do (follow the link above for details), this may be the last ever so don’t miss out!
See you later!

Hi guys. Just a note that, because I will be a very tired lady after dancing at The Balboa Gathering this weekend (and also without the lovely Emily), I’m not planning to run the Intermediate class today. If folks want to stay, practice and go over things I’ve taught recently, then we can discuss that at the session but ideally I’m hoping to finish earlier tonight. Fundamentals will be on as usual as will Improver. Plus anyone still owing money for the workshops next weekend can pay me today 🙂 See you all later!!
Our Solo Jazz class for the next few weeks will be focusing on THE BIG APPLE!
Tonight (Mon 2 Sept) we’ll be starting with looking at the Big Apple as the Social dance craze of 1937.
It’s essentially a fun, party dance where (after we’ve learned them) steps are called out for the dancers in a random order rather than being part of a routine.
In later weeks we’ll be moving on to The Keep Punchin’ choreography.
For those of you completely unfamiliar with the Big Apple Dance here’s a quick Wikipedia link to get you started.

More info will follow over the next few weeks.
This is a great time to start coming along to Jazz classes.
See you later 🙂
Fabulous news folks. I’ve just confirmed Sunday 6 October with the fabulous Bruce & Jane from Kingston Swing (you know – the Hullzapoppin guys!!) to come teach a Dips, Tricks and Aerials Workshop for us all 😀
More details to follow but for now …
SAVE THE DATE!!
After the workshop we’ll also have another of our great Sneinton Tea Dances to ensure we keep swinging through until the late evening.
Oh, I’m very happy!!
Lunchtime Lindy Bomb!

We’ve been invited to Lindy Bomb Sneinton Market tomorrow so come along and Swing Out in the Sunshine in Sneinton!
I’ll be playing danceable swing music from 11.30 to 1pm (possibly with breaks) and we can dance as much or as little as we like. It’ll be like Bakewell and Green’s Windmill; very casual, lots of social dancing, a bit of a Shim Sham and a lot of fun.
Riverside Festival

We’ll be heading down after the Sneinton Market Lindy Bomb, grabbing some food and hopefully doing some more dancing.

Hi guys.
As you’ve probably already seen on Facebook earlier this week, as there are a number of folk away and it’s my birthday 🙂 I’ve decided to extend the break and cancel classes for this coming Sunday 28 July.
Jazz class will run as usual this Monday 29 July *note to self – must bring cake!* and Lindy Hop classes will be back in full swing 😉 on Sunday 4 August.
Hope to see you all then. Have a lovely weekend!

CLASS CANCELLED!!!
Hi all please spread the word. There will be NO CLASSES TODAY in Sneinton.
A number of factors affect this decision and I apologise for the short notice.
Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday and I’ll see you all soon.
Jazz class will be on tomorrow.

Sneinton Festival is rounding up this weekend by holding a picnic party at Green’s Windmill on Sunday 14 July from 12pm. There’ll be stalls, food, acoustic sets from local musicians and the Salvation Army Band will be playing from 2.45 to 3.30pm.
We’ve been invited along to join in the fun and play a few of our tunes and do a spot of dancing before and after the Salvation Army do their thing (i.e. 2pm ish and 3.30ish)
So all local dancers, we’d love to see you at Green’s Windmill (just behind our usual classes venue) in Sneinton at 2pm. We’ll play it by ear, and dance, whatever, whenever, wherever we can, but with the sun shining it should be a lovely afternoon regardless. We’ll dance some freestyle, maybe a shim sham… whatever we can in the time allowed.
Then, if you fancy sticking around, from 5pm (possibly sooner) until 9pm we’ll be able to go into our lovely Old School Hall (Windmill Lane, Sneinton, NG2 4QB have a cuppa, a chat and get our usual classes under way. Depending on who’s there, new dancers and/or familiar faces, I will stretch our usual format to fit, ensuring it’s fun for all who are there, regular attenders or new faces, fun classes, more social dancing time and maybe playing around with sharing some fun steals moves etc…
Anyway, really looking forward to seeing you lots of you out tomorrow afternoon regardless.
Oh and here’s our Frankie dance at the Windmill to get you all inspired…. http://frankiesbirthday.com/2013/05/30/frankie-99-from-nottingham-uk/
Hello all!
Hope you’re having a wonderful time in the sunshine 🙂
Just to let you know that classes will be running tomorrow but only the Beginner and Improver classes, so for this week only there will be no Intermediate class.
Many thanks in advance to the lovely Brian and Linda who will be taking you through your paces while I’m away teaching and performing at the UK Boogie Woogie Festival.
See you all soon and have fun tomorrow! Lisa
