Dance North Update – September 2023
The new 2023-2024 Dance Season is here. Everything will run along much the same as before, same time, same place, same approach and will all kick off Monday Sept 4th at 7:30. We are currently working on finalizing the new Schedule with details on how and when we will offer which dances. If you know of anyone new that would like to receive our Weekly Updates, please be sure to get their names and email addresses to us. Alternatively, if you do not wish to receive our updates, please be sure to let us know.
As our slogan goes, “Make Dance a Habit – It Will Change Your Life”. We encourage you to make time for dance in your life, and to encourage your friends to do the same. Here are some of the benefits of regular dancing (courtesy of Fred Astaire Dance Studios):
- Reduces stress and anxiety & improves your mood
- Increases self-confidence
- Enhances brain function & boosts memory
- Increases energy levels
- Helps your heart & improves sleep quality
- Improves flexibility & balance, reducing pain and stiffness
- Combats aging

Although you do not need a partner to attend, we all realise that by its very nature, dancing is a couples activity. We are not in a position to guarantee a partner, however, singles are very welcome and that of course offers an opportunity to pair up with other singles, so please don’t let that hold you back.
We will send out our weekly updates just before the start of each new week of dance sessions. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us at any time.
Thank you,
See you soon,
Peter & Paz (fully vaccinated)

Learn With Us
Dancing is a unique form of exercise as it provides the health benefits of aerobic exercise while allowing you to engage in a comfortable, social environment. Physical benefits aside, dancing has a way of brightening up a person’s day!
Does your level of dance determine or even restrict the type of social event you might attend ? On one particular occasion we overheard someone saying that, although they would love to, they were not attending a particular prominent dinner & dance event in town because they couldn’t dance well enough – how unfortunate, especially when that scenario is so avoidable.
- Do you feel awkward dancing in public ?
- Does your dancing feel stiff and uncoordinated ?
- Do you seem to always forget your steps or can’t seem to match your steps to the music ?
- Does your partner never seem to know what you want them to do ?
- Does it feel like you are not having any fun ?
Well, with a little commitment and determination, and yes, regular practice, almost anyone can become a proficient enough dancer to have the confidence to attend any type dance event they like. Dance North offers regular practice in a comfortable and friendly environment. We work on basics, lead and follow, frame and dance floor etiquette, from beginner to intermediate levels. With all our dance sessions, we focus heavily on fundamentals and basics – with these elements in place, it creates a solid platform for any level of participation.
Drop-Ins
Casual “Drop-in” is not available at this time – pre-booked, pre-paid dance sessions will run one month at a time for the foreseeable future – see details under “Registration” above
Weekly sessions held Mondays & Fridays at 7:30, September through to June.
