Fresh '3' The Freestyle you've been waiting for!
Article by: Kali Fraser (27/08/2009)

Ever since the amazingly successful Fresh event we ran in Leicester last year we have been looking for a suitable venue for another one as Leicester Uni is still having it's massive refit. We recently took over Burton-on-Trent Town Hall from Ceroc Midlands and we think it's the bee's knee's of a venue and perfect for another Fresh!

This time we're going bigger and better with 3 rooms instead of two and a capacity of 400 +! Rob "The Reverand" Ambridge will be playing a range of euphoric Ceroc tracks with the emphasis on 'fast, funky and energetic' in the Euphoria room. Marc Forster and Rachel Pears will combine their talents to bring you the best of Blues, Latin, West Coast, Soul and R&B in the Utopia room as well as providing the emotive tango tracks to inspire you in the Milonga room. If you fancy trying out Tango Marc & Rachel will be taking an hour long tango class at 8pm in the Milonga room too.

You can book your ticket on line (ceroc.uk.com)for just £10 in advance or pay on the night for £12. If you'd rather pay by phone give Kali a call on 07739556811 or 01158440278.

Swing dance classes start in Glasgow
Article by: Helen Birns (25/08/2009)
Having learned lindy hop in Melbourne, Australia (Australia's largest swing dancing hub, with over 500 people learning swing dancing a week), Zoot Swing directors Ben and Helen Birns, brought their swing dancing style to the UK in 2005. After teaching at workshops in the Isle of Wight, London and the North of England they began weekly classes in Edinburgh. Now, after two great years, Zoot Swing has a team of 5 teachers and regularly teaches classes in lindy hop, blues, vernacular jazz and air-steps.

Zoot Swing's vision is to spread the swing dancing love all over Scotland, and after their success in Edinburgh they are moving further afield to Glasgow to get the big city dancing. Drop-in beginners classes commence on September 1st, 2009 at Sounds of Progress, 73-77 Trongate Glasgow, G1 5HB at 7:30pm. No partner or experience required. See you on the dance fl oor!
