Pop-La-Roc Partners Dance Class

RESTARTING 31st OCTOBER

Following the huge success of our PopLaRoc Linedance Classes,

we have now introduced OUR NEW WEEKLY, BEGINNERS,

PopLaRoc PARTNER DANCE CLASS.

If you love music and dance then come join us at any point along the way as we ease you gently into some great classic routines

The venue will be The Queens's Hotel, 160 Nethergate, Dundee DD1 4DU

The venue has its own car park (please park and give your registration number to reception)

Thursday 8pm-9.30pm

It will be a 1.5hr hour class and will be charged at £6 per person 'PAY AS YOU GO'.

Current DanceDundee members with existing Loyalty Cards for our other classes can use their existing cards with 2 hole punches on their card taken for each partner class per person and at the same time possibly qualifying you for the 'bonus classes'. (credits will be given on renewal of the card for each partner class attended to ensure no more than £6 in value is used from card...Mike will take care of everything for you! lol)

New members to the class can obtain Loyalty Cards at the class... see Mike. Same again...2 hole punches per person, per card, per class*. Loyalty Cards also allow you to attend our Zumba, FitSteps and PopLaRoc (Single) classes for the usual 1 hole punch per person, per card, per class*.

* Loyalty Cards are non transferable and cannot be shared. A couple attending would need individual cards. See Terms & Condition for full details.

WHAT EXACTLY IS Pop-La-Roc PARTNER DANCING?

Let's start off by saying what IT IS NOT..... it's not sequence dancing, It's not ballroom, it's not linedance (as you know it), It's not modern jive (Ceroc/LeRoc).

Everyone will be travelling around the outside of the dancefloor with a partner (in a hold similar to that of the Gay Gordons) while everyone dances the same routine, which we will have taught you all previously (anyone who missed the teach, we'll provide a quick run through prior). Some routines you may not be travelling, which is ideal for busy dancefloors at other functions.

Unlike sequence dancing or ballroom, this is considerably easier to learn with far less complicated steps so inexperienced dancers can pick this up much easier.

Yes, you'll need a partner but there's nothing stopping you attending alone and finding a like minded individual. We cannot guarantee you a partner but Elaine and Mike will, when possible, dance with non partnered individuals.

Do we mind same sex couples? Not at all! Two ladies or two men.... not a problem. It's quite the norm nowadays but it's advisable to keep to one person being 'the lead' and the other to being 'the follower' at classes.

HERE ARE SOME COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM OUR OPENING NIGHT

"This was a great class! Went along, on my own - absolutely no problem! Learned some very easy routines (that would fit to different music) with patient teachers! The music was brilliant, and varied. Met some nice peeps too, very friendly and no pressure!. Was great fun, absolutely LOVED it ! If you are even half thinking about it, you really should go along and at least give it a try. The 2 hours went by in a flash!"
