We are nearing the end of another year of dancing

10th November will be the children’s class final night – they will have a demonstration dance to show off everything they have learnt this year.

Our club final night will be 17th November. We will be ending the year with live music and supper.

Summer School this year is in Christchurch, but there will be Hogmanay here in Wellington for anyone staying local.

Hogmanay will be at Crofton Downs School, beginning at 8pm.

Bring a small plate for supper and there will be live music.

We need some volunteers to help with setting up, serving supper and with the Hogmanay celebration itself. If you are able to help, see Chris Totton for more details.
