Hello all you wonderful dancers I thought it was about time for a good update on the happenings of the Vintage Dancing world. We have taken a hiatus due to the Football and the Olympics (unfortunately we were not able to use the room at the Salisbury for dance lessons during this time). And in a strangely timely fashion I have also injured my knee, I have a torn meniscus and torn ACL and I am now waiting for an operation due in November :-( This means I have not been able to dance in same energetic way I would like to, and no teaching. It has been very hard to cope with no dancing, I need my fix though, so you may still see me out there but going slowly and cautiously.. ! On the brighter side of things we are still hosting Mouthful O' Jam and all the information you need for the next event on September 1st, 2012 is below, please see attached flier too. Also, I have recently started my own company on the back of my past work. Please have a look at my website and if you or anyone you know is ever in need of any bespoke inflatables we would be more than happy to hear from you! www.studiosouffle.com >>>>> Hi all, Mouthful is back after our holiday break. As we are all refreshed now the first of the month brings you Hot Jazz, Swing, Jump Blues and R'n'B and any other good dancing track we can bring you on 78 rpm records. This month we have special guest DJ Swinging Dickie (Phoenix club) as well as our usual regular Tim Hellzapoppin'. Myself (Swing Maniac) will bring you many a good hot dancing find from over my holiday as no matter where I go I look for hot records. We do have a dance lesson in September and as Gaia is away the fabulous Serena Rizzo will be taking her place so we look forward to this one. As usual the entry is kept at a recession busting £5, a quality evening for a small amount of dosh. The Salisbury Pub 1 Grand Parade Green Lanes, N4 1JX 7:30pm dance lesson DJs playing Hot Jazz, Rn'B and Swing till 2am Only £5!
