Slightly Ballroom

[AllyCat]

Hello... I'm pretty new to ED and have been wondering if anyone goes along the the Simply Ballroom venue on Lordship Lane... if so, I wondered what the standard was like? And is just lessons or social dancing too... I have been learning a bit of ballroom recently so I'm pretty much a beginner...

Any info gratefully received!

Thanks:))

(Subject title changed to Slightly Ballroom as it is the correct name of the dance class - The Administrator)

I'll be up for checking it out if you want to go along with someone.

Do you know what evenings times etc

wow Mogs - up and posting at before half past five on a sunday morning - respect! (have you just come in from an all-night ballroom warehouse party?)

where is this ballroom place - what end of LL?

Fell asleep and 8:30 last night and woke up at 4:30 this morning, my sleep partern is completely out now.

It's that the Thomas Moore Hall near the Irish shop.

I've been thinking about the ballroom thing for a while now but haven't managed to get down there yet. They call it Slightly Ballroom and it's on Tuesday evenings. I would be interested to hear people opinions - is there young people there or is it generally for the more mature punter?

OK - I'm picking up this thread again - I'm thinking of braving the ballroom class tonight - is anyone going - or does anyone want to join me...?!

Do they do Salsa and Tango?

Hi

I went along last week but it finishes next Tuesday for the summer and then starts again in September for beginners.

If you already know how to dance then it will be fine going along but if not it is best to wait until September.

Thanks for letitng me know Ginger... typical - I finally get my a*** into gear and its finishing!

Might still pop along - I've been to about 8 classes in North London....

Not sure they will do Salsa, but I'm guessing Tango would be covered as it's a Latin ballroom dance...

Isn't there a sign up outside the same venue advertising Tango - Tango South London??

Damzel,

Ambient Slightly Ballroom class age around 30. 'Mature punters' fear we are not taking it all seriously enough.

New beginners start Tues Sept. 4th 7.30, improvers 8.30, practice to 10.30. www.slightlyballroom.co.uk.

Helen.

Has anyone tried the salsa classes that seem to run regularly at the EDT? I am now what might be classed as of a mature vintage, would I be hopelessly out of place and pace?

I've no idea because I have never been but I do own a fabulous pair of dancing trousers. They have plenty of ballroom. (Groans).:-$

Find out more about Tango South London on www.tangosouthlondon.co.uk, and Slightly Ballroom (ambirnt age <30) at www.slightlyballroom.co.uk, both of which operate on Tuesdays at St Thomas More Hall(s), 116a Lordship Lane, by the bus stop opposite the posh fish shop, on Tuesday evenings, and elsewhere. It's good to go to bed with warm feet after dancing in the winter.
