Dear Kate,

In 2012 there is going to be lots for you to enjoy on the dance floor. Whether your interest is Salsa, Rock n Roll or you are a Zumba diva, there is something for everyone.

With so much going on we have found that our Direct Debit members have embraced the opportunity of unlimited classes and discounted Groove events. It is worth investigating if it would suit you.

Further more, February is Groove Academy's 5th birthday. Yet another excuse to celebrate with an event.

Zumba in 2012

Zumba is a workout hidden in a dance and at this is the time of year everyone wants to start their exercise regime. There is no better way than burning off those calories than a wiggle and a giggle on the dance floor with Groove.

Because of this we are introducing additional Zumba classes to our timetable. We now teach in Newcastle, Hanley, Stone and 3 classes in Stafford. You should be able to find somewhere that fits in with you.

The new classes for this year;

Tuesday 6.30 - Highfields Community Hall, Lovelace Close, STAFFORD, ST17 9YB

Wednesday 5.15 - PiCL, 14a King St, NEWCASTLE, ST5 1EJ

Zumba Gold starts 25th Jan.

Wednesday 8.15 - Stafford Rangers, Astonfields Rd, STAFFORD, ST16 3BX

We know that Zumba isn't for everyone because of the wiggles and lunges so we are introducing Zumba Gold to our class timetable at the end of January. Zumba Gold is designed to limit the demands on your joints by removing the lunges and squats whilst maintaining the Zumba ethos fun on the dance floor. So if you have tried Zumba but found it wasn't for you, give Zumba Gold a try.

Your Zumba instructors are Kate, Emma and Lynda and we look forward to seeing you on the dance floor.

Lindy Hop

So what is Lindy Hop? Well it has its origins in Charleston and has evolved as one of the swing dance styles that became Jive and Rock n Roll. As all dances do, they evolve with the music of the time and it is great to see that swing music is coming back with the likes of the Jive Aces and The Puppini Sisters .

We have introduced Lindy Hop on to our dance floor over the last few months and following its success we will be starting a class just for the 'Hoppers'. This class will be held at Stafford Rangers on a Wednesday for 45mins from 9.15pm. We will also be arranging trips to see swing bands so that we can put our dancing into practisce later in the year.

Free Social Events

We have secured yet another event to host our FREE Salsa Nights in 2012. This means that you can start planning your social life.

We start the year with our regular monthly Salsa Night at The George Inn, Eccleshall on Friday 20th January. This event is booked for the 3rd Friday of the month so put Friday the 17th February in your diary whilst you are there.

The 2nd venue we have secured is The Mill in Stone. This ia a lovely restaurant behind Morrisons in Stone and has offered all diners a discount (details available at your next class). Dining before we dance gives us all a great opportunity to meet and chat to the other dancers before we take to the floor. How civilised. There is an A La Carte or Tapas menu to choose from and accommodation if you want to make a real night of it!

We have booked the 2nd Friday of the month for this regular event so the 1st night is on 10th Febuary.

Further details of all our events are on our website.
