Both. A fairly regular group of about 20-30 people usually go.

Hi Tessa! Amir's email says:

The definitive afternoon for the modern jive connoisseur: Funky laid back tunes, cookies and tea, the infamous freestyle challenge, lounge sofas, great company, and over two hours dancing!

2pm Tango-Jive Class with Amir and Kate

3pm Over two hours of DJ Kenobes Kent Klub Cocktail, featuring Lounge Swing, Latin Funk and Smooth Laid Back Blues.

So there's a class with 2 hours of freestyle afterwards. Some people come just for freestyle. As James says, there are usually 20 - 30 people there and it's usually quite laid-back and friendly.

Would be lovely to see you there

Amir's already pencilled me in for a dance so I'm dead excited!

See you there!

Great Music. Thanks to Toby!

A fabulous afternoon. 3 Hours of dancing, and a lesson, and food and drink, all for 7 pounds.

Yes I was there, sorry for missing you, I didn't know which one was you either. I think Franck should make us some Forum T-shirts to wear!

I was in the dark green shirt but I didn't dance much as I had twisted my ankle. But there was some great dancing, was worth the journey, and great to watch.

Hope to catch you next time I'm in town and we'll have to make sure we have a dance or two.

Yes, music was spot on.

Sorry I missed you too. I'm sure I'll be down again some time and will get the chance to meet you.

Did anyone go to the Ceroc Tea Dance on the HMS President last Sunday ?

[Divissima]

I'm really looking forward to the tea dance on Sunday. TwK is putting his set together as I type...

A good opportunity for some practise for Blackpool in a small and intimate setting

Indeed. Dreadful teaching, awful music, no good dancers at all. Why I go back month after month in the hope of something better is beyond me.....
