A HUGE welcome to all the new students at Kew this week! It was so fun to have you in class and we hope to see you again and again in the coming weeks!

Swing dancing is infectious, joyful, fun and very achievable, and we love sharing it with you. Being new teachers at Kew, Joel and Loz can't wait to build the class and spread the word, so please feel free to bring friends and family along, take some flyers for your workplace, or just keep coming and making us smile!

It's Fun Pit week so hop along for a social dancing and we'll see you there!!

Brand New moves Tuesday 23rd March

Next week is perfect to start dancing because in level 1 we'll be teaching something new for everyone!! We're going to introduce you to another rhythm and style called 6-beat, so it's the perfect time to start dancing.
