Bermondsey

Wednesday

With Rebecca Kelsall and Rob Beaney

Join Rebecca and Rob for a lesson or two in Swing Dancing. What is Swing Dancing? It’s a collection of dances from the 1920s-1940s including Lindy hop and Charleston. Read more about it here.

Classes

Level 1 – Absolute beginners class | 7.15pm – 8.15pm
These classes are for new dancers and there is no experience required. We go over the basics every week and then throw in some new moves to get you dancing in no time. This class is drop-in, so you don’t need to book in advance and you don’t need to bring a partner.

Level 1.5 – Improvers class | 8.15pm – 9.15pm
This class builds upon the content in Level 1, giving you more moves and technique. If you’re feeling comfortable with the beginners class, you’ll be fine in this one too, and if you are looking forward to joining level 2 then this is the class for you.

Checklist for attending class

· We encourage you to take a lateral flow test before you attend class – you can order these free online.

· Wear your mask on arrival and when paying to help keep our teachers and door team safe (you can take your mask off whilst dancing if you choose)

· Check in to the venue using the NHS app

· Sanitise your hands on entry to class

· Use an antibacterial gel often throughout the class

· Respect other people’s boundaries and concerns

What precautions we will be taking

· For the first few months Becca & Rob will not be jumping into rotation

· We will be starting with subjects that have minimal face to face time such as side by side, hand to hand and moves that start and end out in open.

· If we have large numbers, we will split the class into two separate rotations

· If you come with a partner and prefer not to rotate you can step out of rotations

· We will be setting up some sanitise stations and reminding students to sanitise their hands regularly

 

 

* At the end of each month Becca and Rob will be donating 20% of their takings to a different charity either in our local area or internationally.
