International Latin & Ballroom Level 2 – Thurs 6.15pm

New Vogue Intermediate/Advanced – Thurs 7pm

Salsa Intermediate/Advanced – Thurs 8.30pm

Saturday’s Dance Sampler Class will remain unchanged.

We will be adding an extra class to the Thursday evening schedule at 6.15pm – International Latin & Ballroom Level 2. This class is for those who have been attending the International Latin & Ballroom for Beginners class and are ready for the next level. If you have had some International Latin & Ballroom experience and need a refresher this class may also be suitable for you.

We understand that many of you are unable to commit to 8 week series classes due to work commitments, family activites, travel etc. but don’t want to miss out on the fun you have in group classes at Firefly. We hear you! So from the 26th of July we will commence Salsa Level 1 & 2 as casual classes.

Salsa Level 1  every Tuesday at 7.00pm

Salsa Level 2 every Tuesday at 7.45pm

The benefits are:

• You can progress to the next level when you are ready – no pressure at the end of 8 weeks to move up a class
• You can pay $20 per class, buy a 4 class pass for $75 (expires 6 weeks after first class) or an 8 class pass for $140 (expires 10 weeks after first class)
• You can attend classes at levels below for practice and/or revision any week
• If you miss a class you can cover that material in the next rotation
• No need to pre-book you can just come and have some fun

Due to these classes becoming Casual we cannot guarantee numbers or gender balance.
Salsa Level 1 & 2 are now included in Firefly Dance Club’s Full Membership.

Check the full Casual Group Class Timetable for further information or ask one of our teachers which level is right for you.

Ok so this version is a bit late and I apologise for that as some of you may or may not know I have been a little unwell of late and seeing as there is only one Q (that’s me) there has been no Q’s Views.
So a wrap up on what has been happening at Firefly Dance Club and what is coming up.
Recently we have had some students go through the gruelling Bronze exam process and pass with honours. Those students are Tracy Allen, Danielle Keogh and Leonie Lemont. All fabulous students with an amazing teacher…..
The Firefly Dance Club DDD was a huge success and all those who performed did a great job. We will never look at Michael the same way again mr TOO SEXY not to mention the country girl Louise in her cowboy boots…. The food at the Freeway was great lots of platters of flesh for all you meat eaters so everyone was covered…..
FFF is tomorrow night and it’s a Musicals theme with a prize for best dressed. So although I won’t be there I will be seeing all the pics and will still get a chance to judge you all hehe. With love of course. There will be a high energy dance demonstration that will get you bopping in your seats so stay tuned for it.
OK now onto the Firefly Dance Club Ball, it seems that currently I yes me Q am doing a great number of student routines at this stage and I am more than happy to share the stage or dance floor with other students and their teacher (in fact I encourage it). So please register with your teacher so that I am not the only one performing.
I will be back next week with a wrap up on all things FFF and Firefly. I wish you all a fun Musical’s FFF and a safe weekend.
Peace Love and Mungbeans

Ep2

Welcome back to another episode of Q’s Views I hope you liked my first rant on all things Firefly.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who attended our Climb for a Cure Charity Dance at The Cremorne Hotel on Fri 25/3/2011. It was a smashing night full of dancing, drinking, eating and I must admit you were all very well behaved, even John Lincoln….Serghei did a wonderful pas de deux with his student Sheree, Jackie & Troy did a sizzling salsa with some crazy far – out lifts ( that mirror ball was scared for its life on more than one occasion) and Ashley / Ingrid and I did a fusion of Rumba / Tango and Contemporary. Now the question your are all asking is “how does he do all those incredible flips and splits”. Well the answer is I do it by not thinking about how sore I will be the next day and the day after that …. Don’t forget our auction for Cure for Cancer is still going on in the studio and will be drawn at DDD so bid generously. Thank you to everyone for your support and to those that couldn’t make the Charity Dance but donated anyway. Congrats to Tracy Allen for winning the seafood platter raffle. You and your kitty “Billy” will be well fed…

The Firefly Dance Club DDD is coming up so I hope that all you groovers and shakers have sorted out your numbers and are well underway to being way cool. I am looking forward to seeing all your dances on the night. Don’t forget to invite your friends, family, neighbours, cousins and anyone else you like….. The demo will be at the studio and the fun festivities after will be held at the Freeway Hotel.

So what’s been going on around the studio?…… Glad you asked. Well, you may have noticed that Mrs Steer (Caroline) graced us with her presence last week, we are excited that she is back and is looking all relaxed and bronzed (unlike some of us mmmmm). My talented Salsa 2 kids are moving to Salsa 3 which is exciting. Soon they will be leaving me and going to intermediate / advanced…. This is exciting times.

Lauren has clocked up 2000 lessons taught for Firefly Dance Club, I don’t know if she gets a Steak Knife or a Watch I will keep you all posted. What do you think Lauren should get?

Dr Clive is out of action as he was beaten up by a girl soccer player. Dr Clive will be out of action for at least 3 months with a ruptured tendon. Hope you get better soon Doc.

Argentine Tango class is at an end this week. I hope all of you that did it found it inspirational and challenging and I hope you all had mints and sprayed a little nice smelling stuff before class cause that dance is close my friends….

A pact was made in Practice Class on the 30/3/11 to keep Alan in time with the music, we all agreed to be cruel to be kind. We would make it our mission to to link the rhythm that is in Alan’s head with the music that plays out of the stereo. This is for your own good old Al and we do it cause we love ya…

Well my faithful readers it is time to sign off. Hope you all enjoyed this episode of Q’s Views and keep on dancin.
