Our next dance and social function is on the 28th and/or 29th June 2014.  Put it in your diary and book now!  Yes, we are off on another “Winter Solstice” Wine Tour on the Saturday, followed by a banquet dinner followed by a dance party from 9pm at the Belconnen Arts Centre that goes to 1:00 – 1:30am. 

On Sunday – our special guests Peter Fradley and Michelle Fletcher will run WCS workshops for us.  They are the hottest couple in WCS in Australia right now.  Details and prices are on our website at http://audacitydance.com.au/html/winter_solstice_event.html and is also on Facebook.  Please register as soon as possible by return email to mark@audacitydance.com.au so I can confirm the bus and the restaurant.

Ben and Libby DVDs

I know I have been slow in getting these completed but they are available now.  Please see me at class for your copy.


Lead and Follow Dance motion study

A 'motion study' is the perfect way to improve your dance because you can practice WCS footwork and styling syncopations without a dance partner.  If you follow the link below, you can download a leaders and followers ‘motion study’ aimed at Intermediate level dancers.  We will practice in class to at least one song just before Intermediate from next week.

There are 6 files in this folder – 2 high definition (100MB +), 2 medium definition (<40MB) and 2 mobile phone low definition files (~2MB) that you can copy to your PC or mobile device.  They will be available till June 30 for download.


Swingsation

Thirteen (!) yes thirteen Canberra dancers were at this fantastic event on the Gold Coast in mid May.  It was run professionally and with so many US pros in attendance has to be the top line WCS event currently in Australia.  We were all very proud of Emily who made the Novice JnJ finals.  Well done.

CMJ West Coast Swing Comp this weekend

The CMJ comp is on theis weekend and four of our students will be there.  Good luck everyone.

Upcoming competitions and events

The next major event on the dance calendar is the New Zealand Open (9 - 12 October in Auckland) in October, the Australian Open (in Geelong - 16 - 19 October) and Swingtimate (Gold Coast 12 - 14 December).  We encourage you to attend for the great social atmosphere as well as the fun dance comps.
