Sunday Social + DJ starter workshop

This month in front of our usual Sunday Social, we are really pleased to have Catherine a.k.a DJ Cat the Hat running a beginner DJ workshop for you ! (3.15-4.15pm). Catherine has been DJing at balboa and Lindyhop weekend events for the last ten years and recommends playing for your local, friendly social as a great way to learn. There will be some helpful tips on sourcing tracks, starting a library, planning a playlist ,and reading the floor. Catherine will also spend a bit of time talking about how to get the best sound you can when you connect your laptop/tablet to a house PA, and the software / hardware options available to improve your sound. You will then have the chance to put theory into practice. You can bring your own device along (with or without DJ software loaded) but it is not a requirement. Places are extremely limited so if you do want to come book a place asap! Workshop can be booked separately.

AND AFTERWARDS., AS ALWAYS....A friendly, relaxed social dance for all, with an accent on faster music. In the first hour you can expect plenty of swingy, medium tempo+ tunes for the Lindy hoppers to ease you in. Thereafter more hot tunes will be thrown into the mix for the Bal, Shag and Solo dancers out there!!

Come and join us! You can book a Sunday Lunch beforehand or there are Pizzas and snacks available at the bar if you get hungry!

Dances generally take place on the first (sometimes second) Sunday of the month with occasional Bal, Shag or Lindyhop workshops beforehand, which can be booked separately. Watch this space for details.

This is a not for profit dance set up by swing dancers for swing dancers. If you want to be a part of it and help grow your local dance community please get in touch.
