Swing Dance Picnic: August Edition, on Sunday, 8th August, 2010

Next To Regent's Park Boathouse


The series of summer picnics continues this month at Regent's Park with fresh new music!

If the weather has a tantrum I should have an alternative venue, so keep alert for the latest info or venue details on my backup mobile: 07910 028 075.


We offer:

1. The thrilling suspense of unknown weather!

2. 3pm a FREE shag dance class from Paul and Natasha of The Quick! Quick! Club. Website: http://www.thequickquickclub.co.uk/
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=73030129702&ref=ts

3. Entertainment from the inimitable Mr John Barnes.

4. Dance jam sessions: 'Show and ask' your dance moves!

Occasional, short, sharp sessions in an informal separate group within the dance picnic
to share your dance experience and learn from each. All levels welcome. Ask for Neil
or Adrian on the day to show your interest. Announcements will be made during the
picnic.

5. A beautiful part of Regent's Park with all essential facilities nearby (after many hours
research).

6. Dancing in the dappled sunshine of shading trees.

7. Continuous swing music from the swing-beat boom-box of Neil Delany.



You bring:

1. Yourself, friends & family.

2. A favourite swing track or two to play.

3. Food & drink, maybe even some to share!

4. A fierce determination to have a fun, relaxed attitude.

5. A blanket, suntan lotion, sunglasses, umbrella, wellies and a hoodie!

6. Most important of all, besides your good selves: an azure sky, moderate humidity and a gentle cooling breeze (we live in hope).
