										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week we’ll be recapping Samba before moving on to Tango, the dramatic one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tango is one of the dances we note really resonates with people, and can be an enjoyable and dramatic dance.  Just remember to keep your &#8220;tango face&#8221; in situ!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also had our first group rehearsal with our dancers for our upcoming anniversary Gala next month.  It&#8217;s starting to come together nicely and we can&#8217;t wait to perform for you next month.  Don&#8217;t forget you&#8217;ve only got a week to secure your tickets!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally a reminder to ALWAYS ENTER YOUR NUMBER PLATE when arriving at the studio.  We&#8217;ve cancelled a few tickets this week and have used up our allocation for the month already!  </p>



<p class="has-text-align-center has-fl-topbar-hover-color has-fl-heading-text-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-3cc2aa3f5600f675652342060fb420a7 wp-block-paragraph">⭐ <strong>Antony &amp; Emma’s tip of the week</strong><br>To get the correct starting position of the Tango feet, start facing the wall (or backing for the follower), keep your heels on the spot and turn the feet 45 degrees anti-clockwise.  You should end up with your right foot in the instep of your left foot, and they should be in this position every time the feet close.</p>

<h3 id="h-september-price-update" class="wp-block-heading">September Price Update</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In case you haven&#8217;t seen it, our prices will change from 1st September.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We wanted to give plenty of notice, as we know nobody particularly enjoys surprise price changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like many businesses, increasing running costs mean we unfortunately need to make some adjustments, but we’ve tried very hard to keep these changes as modest as possible.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week we’ll be recapping Foxtrot before moving on to Samba, the carnival dance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Samba is one of those dances that often surprises people. It looks fast and energetic, but once you let the music take over, it becomes a really enjoyable dance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We suspect there may be a few smiles (and possibly slightly tired calves!) by the end of the week.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center has-fl-topbar-hover-color has-fl-heading-text-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-dcb33d98530a276fa14c16a2fef2856f wp-block-paragraph">⭐ <strong>Antony &amp; Emma’s tip of the week</strong><br>Try not to look at your feet. We know — easier said than done!  The more you trust where your feet are, the easier it becomes to dance with your partner rather than thinking about individual steps.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">September Price Update</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In case you haven&#8217;t seen it, our prices will change from 1st September.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We wanted to give plenty of notice, as we know nobody particularly enjoys surprise price changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like many businesses, increasing running costs mean we unfortunately need to make some adjustments, but we’ve tried very hard to keep these changes as modest as possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can read the full details below.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Learn to Dance, we always try to keep our classes and lessons as accessible and good value as possible. We know nobody enjoys hearing about price changes, so we wanted to give you plenty of notice. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have held our prices since <strong>September 2023</strong>, despite continued increases in the cost of running the studio and the wider day-to-day costs of the business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, our lease is due for renewal this year and, unfortunately, this will result in a significant rent increase. After a great deal of careful thought, we will therefore need to make a small price adjustment from <strong>1st September 2026</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have worked hard to keep this increase as measured as possible, while still allowing us to continue offering the same friendly teaching, quality classes, and welcoming dance environment that our students value.</p>



<h2 id="h-what-this-means" class="wp-block-heading">What this means</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <strong>1st September 2026</strong>, our updated prices will be:</p>



<h3 id="h-adult-group-classes" class="wp-block-heading">Adult Group Classes</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>£10</strong> per session</li>



<li><strong>£45</strong> for 5 sessions</li>



<li><strong>£80</strong> for 10 sessions</li>
</ul>



<h3 id="h-fitsteps-dance-fitness" class="wp-block-heading">FitSteps Dance Fitness</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>£7</strong> per session</li>



<li><strong>£31.50</strong> for 5 sessions</li>



<li><strong>£56</strong> for 10 sessions</li>
</ul>



<h3 id="h-one-dance-courses" class="wp-block-heading">One Dance Courses</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>£55</strong> per 6-week course</li>
</ul>



<h3 id="h-private-lessons" class="wp-block-heading">Private Lessons</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Private lesson prices will also be increasing from <strong>1st September 2026</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lesson prices will range from:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>£32.50 to £52.50</strong> per session with <strong>Denise/Tom</strong></li>



<li><strong>£42.50 to £62.50</strong> per session with <strong>Antony/Emma</strong></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Package prices will continue to offer the same <strong>10% and 20% reduction</strong> on the equivalent per-session rates, with the same <strong>6 and 10 month expiry periods</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wedding packages will also be increasing in line with <strong>Antony/Emma private lesson prices</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A full updated private lesson price list will be available in the studio and online from 1st September.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-few-important-notes" class="wp-block-heading">A few important notes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Any sessions or packages purchased before <strong>1st September 2026</strong> will continue to be honoured at their existing price and under their normal expiry terms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new prices will apply to new purchases made on or after <strong>1st September 2026</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We will continue to do our very best to offer excellent value, high-quality teaching, and a dance school that feels welcoming and supportive to everyone.</p>



<h2 id="h-membership-scheme-option" class="wp-block-heading">Membership Scheme Option</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We will also be introducing a new <strong>monthly membership option</strong> for regular dancers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This will offer a simple monthly payment, inclusive group classes, and some extra member benefits. Full details will be available separately, so please ask us if you’d like to know more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you for your continued support.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week we&#8217;ll be looking at <strong>Rumba</strong> and recapping <strong>Waltz</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our beginner Rock &amp; Roll course extends on Sunday 24th May, and our next beginner course will be Waltz from Sunday 12th July.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A reminder that we will be open on Bank Holiday Monday for the afternoon tea dance, and the evening beginner and improver classes, but the Waltz course won&#8217;t be taking place on either Monday 25th May nor 1st June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also we are looking into the possibility of reintroducing regular practice sessions at Learn To Dance.  Either on Friday evenings or Saturdays (either afternoon or evening).  If that&#8217;s something that might be of interest please let us know (including whether you have a preference).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally the booking deadline for our 20th Gala is Saturday 20th June.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We hope you&#8217;ve been able to keep up with some of our 20 year memories on our social media channels, but if not we&#8217;ll also be uploading some galleries to our website soon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week we&#8217;ll be looking at <strong>Bachata</strong> and recapping <strong>Argentine Tango</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Salsa course will be extending from Wednesday 20th May, and bookings are open now.  However this will be the final extension and we&#8217;ll be moving on to a new dance from 1st July.  This will likely be the Foxtrot to prepare for our Bridgend Dance Break in September.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re celebrating <strong>20 years of running our dance school</strong> this year 🎉</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you know we’ve got a Gala evening planned at Dorney Lake on 4th July, and something really lovely happened recently—a student offered to contribute towards the dance floor hire, which got us thinking about opening things up a little.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If anyone locally (or any businesses) would like to be part of the celebration—whether that’s contributing or being featured in the programme—we’ve shared more details <a href="https://learndance.co.uk/2026/05/01/be-part-of-our-20-year-celebration-at-dorney-lake/" type="post" id="5955">here</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either way, we’re just excited to celebrate 20 years with you, our community 😊</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ok we apologise, we forgot to mention last week that we&#8217;d be turning 20 on Wednesday 29th April!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll be posting a variety of memories on our social media channels so keep an eye on any of those to see what you may remember (and feel free to send us/share any memories you may have too).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week we&#8217;ll be looking at <strong>Argentine Tango</strong> and recapping <strong>Salsa</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following a suggestion from a student we&#8217;re also looking into some options for sponsorship of elements of our 20th Gala, including messages/adverts in the programme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If that&#8217;s something of interest you can see more details, and get in touch, on our recent <a href="https://learndance.co.uk/2026/05/01/be-part-of-our-20-year-celebration-at-dorney-lake/" type="post" id="5955">blog post</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also a reminder that, aside from the Waltz course, we are fully open over the Bank Holiday weekend &#8211; including the afternoon tea dance at 1.30pm.  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-we-re-open-on-bank-holiday-monday">We&#8217;re open on Bank Holiday Monday</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A reminder that, aside from the Waltz course, we&#8217;re fully open this Bank Holiday weekend.  That includes our Rock &amp; Roll course on Sunday night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re looking for something to do during the day on Bank Holiday Monday we have got our weekly tea dance from 1.30pm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All beginner and improver classes are running as normal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we don&#8217;t see you we hope you have a great weekend.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sponsor-our-20th-gala-0">Sponsor our 20th Gala</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re celebrating <strong>20 years of running our dance school</strong> this year 🎉</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you know we’ve got a Gala evening planned at Dorney Lake on 4th July, and something really lovely happened recently—a student offered to contribute towards the dance floor hire, which got us thinking about opening things up a little.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If anyone locally (or any businesses) would like to be part of the celebration—whether that’s contributing or being featured in the programme—we’ve shared more details <a href="https://learndance.co.uk/2026/05/01/be-part-of-our-20-year-celebration-at-dorney-lake/" type="post" id="5955">here</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either way, we’re just excited to celebrate 20 years with you, our community 😊</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>This year marks 20 years of Learn To Dance… and we’re celebrating in style.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On <strong>Saturday 4th July</strong>, we’ll be hosting a very special <strong><a href="https://learndance.co.uk/2026/04/06/celebrate-20-years-of-learn-to-dance-with-us-at-dorney-lake/" type="post" id="5911">Gala Evening</a> at Dorney Lake</strong>—bringing together our dancers past and present for what promises to be a truly unforgettable night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a beautiful setting, a two-course dinner, live music from <a href="https://www.simplyswing.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Simply Swing</a>, and of course a full evening of dancing, this is shaping up to be a once-in-a-decade celebration of everything Learn To Dance has become over the past 20 years.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-lovely-gesture-that-got-us-thinking">💛 A Lovely Gesture… That Got Us Thinking</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, one of our dancers very kindly offered to contribute towards the cost of the dance floor hire for the evening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was such a thoughtful gesture—and it really meant a lot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But more than that, it got us thinking…</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-if-this-became-something-bigger">🎉 What If This Became Something Bigger?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the years, Learn To Dance has never just been about steps or technique.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s been about:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Friendships formed</li>



<li>Confidence built</li>



<li>Weddings danced</li>



<li>Memories made</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So rather than this just being <em>our</em> event…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What if it became something the whole Learn To Dance community—and even local businesses—could be part of creating together?</strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-an-opportunity-to-be-part-of-the-celebration">✨ An Opportunity to Be Part of the Celebration</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A few people have already asked if there’s a way they can contribute towards making the evening even more special.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we thought we’d open the door.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a number of elements that make up an evening like this—from the live music, to the dance floor, to capturing the memories through photography and video.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For anyone who would like to play a part, we’d love to recognise your support as part of the event itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether that’s:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Treating everyone to a welcome drink</li>



<li>Supporting the live band</li>



<li>Contributing towards capturing the memories of the night</li>



<li>Or simply being part of something special</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every contribution helps elevate the experience for everyone attending.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">📖 Be Part of the Evening Programme</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For this special 20-year celebration, we’ll be creating a beautifully designed <strong>event programme</strong> for all guests on the night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This will include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The running order for the evening</li>



<li>Performances and highlights</li>



<li>A look back at 20 years of Learn To Dance</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And, for those who wish to be involved…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">👉 <strong>An opportunity to be featured within it.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re offering a limited number of spaces within the programme for:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Local businesses</li>



<li>Supporters of Learn To Dance</li>



<li>Anyone who would like to leave a message, advert, or simply be part of the occasion</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This could be:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A business advert</li>



<li>A congratulatory message</li>



<li>A “well done” or “thank you” note</li>



<li>Or even a personal message to someone special</li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">⭐ Programme Sponsorship Opportunity</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We will also have a <strong>Programme Sponsor</strong> for the evening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Front or inside cover recognition</li>



<li>Premium advert placement</li>



<li>A special mention on the night</li>



<li>Visibility across our event promotion and social media</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-for-local-businesses">🤝 For Local Businesses</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also know we’re lucky to be part of a fantastic local community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re a local business and would like to be involved, this is a wonderful opportunity to:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Be associated with a positive, feel-good community event</li>



<li>Gain visibility across our social media and event promotion</li>



<li>Connect with over 100 local attendees on the night</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’d love to chat about how we can make it mutually beneficial.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-night-to-remember">💃 A Night to Remember</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This event is about celebrating Learn To Dance and our community and everyone who has been part of the journey over the last 20 years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to be part of making this evening even more special, we’d love to hear from you.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-get-involved">📩 Get Involved</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in contributing or would simply like to find out more, please speak to us in class or <a href="mailto:galasponsorship@learndance.co.uk">get in touch</a> directly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s make this a night to remember—together.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week we&#8217;ll be looking at <strong>Salsa</strong>, one of the Cuban family of dances (including Rumba, Cha Cha Cha and Mambo).  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With Salsa you want to let the music flow through you and keep small fluid movements.  Leads for turns should not make your partner feel like they&#8217;re being arm wrestled either!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus don&#8217;t forget you only have until the end of this month to save £15pp on our <a href="https://learndance.co.uk/2026/03/23/bridgend-dance-break-weekend-2026/" type="post" id="5891">Bridgend Dance Break</a> this September.</p>

This will help you to cope with the speed of faster songs, and also make the dance look more fluid.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bridgend-dance-break">Bridgend Dance Break</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our September dance break will be at Heronston Hotel and Spa in Bridgend from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th September.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dances covered will be Foxtrot and Samba, with a &#8216;Golden Age of Hollywood&#8217; theme to the Saturday night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Places start from £265pp (£65 single supplement) but you can save £15pp if you book before the end of April.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the things we pride ourselves on is the approach we take to teaching the Viennese Waltz.  Our breakdown allows even complete beginners to start to move around the floor, progressing all the way up to Fleckerls and American Smooth embellishments as you get more experienced.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll also be recapping last week&#8217;s Cha Cha Cha as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Improver Waltz course is entering it&#8217;s second extension, and resumes from Monday 20th April.  £50pp if you want to join for the next six weeks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus don&#8217;t forget you only have until the end of this month to say £15pp on our <a href="https://learndance.co.uk/2026/03/23/bridgend-dance-break-weekend-2026/" type="post" id="5891">Bridgend Dance Break</a> this September.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-improver-waltz-course-extension">Improver Waltz Course Extension</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Improver Waltz course will be extending from Monday 20th April, at 7pm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll be starting by revisiting the Natural Turn with Hesitation and then moving on to more of the later Bronze level steps.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Book in for the next six weeks for £50pp.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Autumn dance break is moving away from Bournemouth for the first time in over 15 years!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new venue will be Heronston Hotel and Spa in Bridgend on the last weekend in September.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dances covered will be Foxtrot and Samba, with a &#8216;Golden Age of Hollywood&#8217; theme to the Saturday night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Places start from £265pp (£65 single supplement) but you can save £15pp if you book before the end of April.</p>
