Starlight Spectacular
This class is full
Our October social comes with something a little special. Alongside the usual evening of social dancing, some of our own students will be performing routines that were originally choreographed for Emma and Chris - now passed on and made their own. Well worth being in the room for, and a proper milestone for the dancers involved. They have been training hard over the past year, putting in countless hours of work into learning choreography, technique and their performances to bring you the best show possible.

Everything else is as it always is: a friendly floor, a mix of ballroom and Latin, and no pressure to do anything but enjoy the evening.
