St Matthews Church Hall, Cnr Warrigal & High St, Ashburton Mel map: 60 G10

Last autumn dance for the year! Thess is up for a birthday dance – anyone else?
Practice cutting in on other dancers – we’ll be doing a “steel” as well.

Bring along anyone you like and let me know if you would like to reserve your own table (SMS 0412 016 780) (class tables will be there as normal).

Don’t forget something to share for supper at 10.00pm and BYO everything else. (Tea and coffee available with supper)

See you there!

Prospect Street, Pascoe Vale
Sadly it is time to leave the Bowls Club because the room is not available in the winter.
Happily we will be at the Pascoe Vale Neighbourhood Facility which is located at the Swimming Pool in Prospect Street, (off Cumberland Road). We have booked in until the third week in June because it is not available on the last week of each month. In the meantime we are waiting to hear if we are able to use another venue nearby

8 Martin Street
Our 7.00 pm class in St Kilda is settling in very nicely with quite a few very keen beginners coming in.

The 8.00pm performance class is progressing well. We still welcome anyone who would like to pop in and check it out and are especially looking for another person for the male role of either a Sailor or a Zoot Suit.

Carinish Rd, Clayton
This is not a Victorian Jazz Club event. The Jumpin’ Jitta Bugs used to play for swing dancers at Ruby Reds, over 10 years ago and have recently reformed with the original line-up. It’s great to have another Swing Band on the scene. Put it in your diary now and let’s give them a good reason to do it again!
