 From our Teachers

‘It has been wonderful to take a group of enthusiastic, mainly non-dancers, and to teach them a variety of easy dances to enable them to enjoy themselves and get round the floor.  I do have the advantage of being qualified in a number of Dance Styles enabling me to switch my program to suit and cater for the people who turn up. I think I can safely say that everyone has fun!

The volunteers at the club make it easier for me to do my job as they deal with the setting up of the room, paperwork, admission and, most importantly, refreshments. Also, to retain those who can dance, you need to introduce something different, a little more challenging. The style of teaching, variations taught and even the speed of the music need to be tailored to the age group. (It’s harder than it looks but very rewarding!)’  Maureen Hustwitt

From our Volunteers

‘I saw an advert in the local paper for volunteers to help partner at the local tea dance.  As I am always on the lookout for places to dance, I jumped at the chance to do a bit of dancing again. It's a really pleasant afternoon, I just go along and partner anyone who wants to have a dance. The organizer, has been very helpful and even offered to meet before the class. It's a great feeling to help in something you love to do. I enjoy my dancing, but it's not always easy to find places to dance. Not only am I getting to help others, I am also enjoying one of my favourite pastimes.’  One of our fantastic volunteer Dance Buddies
