Summer Latin-Line Party
Another top night last Friday for our shimmytastic Latin-Line Dancers. A brilliant turn-out and a busy dancefloor until the bitter end. Amanda taught a new ChaCha dance to "Dance Like Your Daddy" which went down well! Not many photos, as we were too busy to take them!
Summer Dance 2019
What a fantastic evening we had on Friday 12th July!!! A sell-out event, in anticipation of a Latin entertainment extravaganza... and our guest Dancers, Olivia Oates & Christian Skibsrud, certainly did not disappoint! They wowed us all with their superb interpretations of the ChaChaCha, Samba, Rumba, Jive and Paso Doble - and such a lovely couple too! Also, during the evening we collected donations in memory of Andy Fuller, one of our long-standing pupils who sadly passed away after a short, sudden illness recently - £200 was raised which has been sent to the Funeral Directors to pass on to the two chosen charities, the British Heart Foundation and the Critical Care Unit and Royal Stoke Hospital.
May Dance 2019
A lovely chilled out evening took place on Saturday 18th May. A fair few pupils appeared to be on holiday, but those who attended enjoyed the extra dancefloor space! We raised £200 for the Alzheimer's Society in our "Roll the £1 coin" Fundraiser too - top job everyone :-)
Easter Dance 2019 - April 2019
A very busy night of dancing & fun took place on Friday 12th April at our Easter Dance! Our fundraiser was "Neil's Wheel" which was made from a bicycle wheel where pupils paid to spin the wheel and win some weird and wonderful items! A £40 voucher was donated by Gusto in Knutsford, as well as lots of bottles, Easter eggs and other goodies donated by our pupils. £400 was raised in total which has been donated to Macmillans as part of Dave & Craig's Bike Ride Fundraising.
Latin-Line Dance Party - March 2019
Lovely people, lovely dancing, lovely night! Thank you to all who came along and supported the evening - we had a blast as always! Our new "Lindy Jive" went down well, and after all the dancing that went on that night, I imagine there were a fair few sore feet the following day! Worth it though!
Valentines Dance 2019
Super turn-out as always by our lovely dancers on Saturday 16th February. Our dress theme was red and pink and there really was a lot of love on the dancefloor!
Christmas Dance 2018
What a fabulous start to the festive season at our Christmas Dance on 1st December! The night was a sellout and everyone looked stunning in their black ties & posh frocks! Thanks to all our pupils for donating goodies to make up 12 hamper prizes for our raffle, which raised a phenomenal £520 for the NSPCC - a record fundraiser!
November '18 Latin-Line Party
Well, what a fabulous night last night! There will be a few sore feet this morning, but I hope you all enjoyed your evening full of jives, salsas, chachas... and our new Samba Tequila!! Here are just a few pics - didn't have time to take many!!
Halloween Dance - October 2018
Our Halloween Masquerade Dance on Saturday 27th October was another fabulous evening full of "scary" dancing. The masks and costumes were fantastic and, as always, the dancefloor was busy all night. Pupils gave generously towards our fundraiser, having a go at guessing the number of jelly beans in the jar, and we raised £200 for the Macmillan Nurses - spooktacular!!!
Summer Latin-Line Party - July 2018

Summer Dance - July 2018
Well, we had a last-minute change of venue, but that didn't stop us having another great event on the 14th July. Martin at Lostock Club provided a dance floor and bar; we had music and friendship ... what more did we need?!!! Thanks to our pupils' generosity, we had a huge array of raffle prizes, and our raffle raised £200 for St Lukes Cheshire Hospice. Our dress theme was "floral", making the dancefloor very colourful! Thanks to all our wonderful pupils for supporting us, especially with the venue change!
May Dance 2018
Another very well-supported Dance Night with a very busy floor practically all night! Our fundraiser involved rolling £1 coins along the Dancefloor, the nearest to each of the prizes won! The main "winner" was Alder Hey Children's Hospital - as we raised £320 - brilliant!
Latin-Line Party - April 2018

A sell out Dance again, and a busy dancefloor all night long. Lots of super dancing. We asked for hamper donations for our raffle and, my goodness me, there was enough to fill 7 hampers plus a few gift bags too - loads to be won.

Brilliant night of social dancing, together with a fantastic five-dance Latin Demonstration from Alexandra Hawley & Joe Hopwood, one of the top British Professional Latin couples.
