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

See you there!
 New Venue for Class this Thursday http://www.swing-dancing.com

15 May 2012

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.
