On the Upside...

Blaze @ Bacchus was brilliant. The dancers were amazing, so much more relaxed than usual, and the DJs were great with a full dancefloor for most of the night. I think the party/performance combo is definitely the way forward for Blaze but a bigger venue will be needed for the next one...

Suggestions on a postcard please.

Time for Another Shameless Plug

No, not about Shameless the TV programme which I'm sticking with despite the fact I am sorely disappointed with this series. No, this shameless plug is about the new block of classes and our end of term party.

Contemporary, Street and Tap will all be on Wednesdays as of 20th Feb. The block runs for 7 weeks and will cost £42 but there will be savings if you book more than one class, a fiver saved for 2 classes and a tenner saved for 3.

Contemporary 6pm-7pm
Street 7pm-8pm
Tap 8pm-9pm

There will also be a special block of classes for complete beginners to Tap. Learn the lingo, sort out your shuffles and brush up on your brushes. Mondays in March from 3rd to the 31st 7pm-8pm in Hyndland Primary. No class on the 24th as it's Easter Monday. The block is 4 weeks long and costs £24. This block may not run again so if you want to get to grips with the basics of Tap, this is your chance.

Finally, we're having a party. Saturday 5th April, 8pm-1am, Bar Bacchus, Glassford Street, £4. Dance, DJs and drinks. Don't miss it.

Back to Business!

I've been off work and uni since the 10th Dec so it's safe to say I'm bored of being off and I'm ready to go back. Uni doesn't start until the week of the 14th but luckily for me (and you) Blaze classes start back next week. Choose from Contemporary - great for core strength, Street - killer ass and Tap - amazing legs.

Get the year off to a good start by joining a dance class, you'll get fit, meet new people and avoid the rubbish on telly at least one night a week!

Contemporary - Tuesdays 7pm-8pm from 08.01.08
A relaxed class where you can work on your body from the inside out, using your core muscles, and have an invigorating introduction to contemporary dance and the style of FireBox Dance Theatre. Suitable for beginners and intermediates.

Street - Wednesdays 7pm-8pm from 09.01.08
High energy and high impact. Incorporates elements of poppin' and breakin' as well as a few moves just for fun. This class is suitable for everyone so come along and get your freak on.

Tap - Wednesdays 8pm-9pm from 09.01.08
Sort your shuffles from your ripples and your beats from your taps, this is an intermediate class aimed to develop rhythmic tapping and combinations.

Each class costs £30 for a block of 5 weeks. You can save yourself £5 by booking any 2 classes, book all 3 and save a tenner. Bargain!

Also, for complete beginners there will be a one-off start up Tap class to cover the basics before joining the main class. See Blaze for more info.

Well, what are you waiting for?
