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).

Venue:

The triangular island of green next to the Children's Boating Pond and in front of the Boathouse Café, Regent's Park.

BBC/Lambent Productions 1940s Lindy Hop Shoot
When
Sunday, November 8, 2009
9:30am - All Ages
Where
Hornsey Hall (map)
Magic Flute Banqueting Suite
31 Hornsey High Street
London, United Kingdom N8 7QB
Other Info
Intro from SDL:

As some of you may have seen on our Facebook wall, the BBC and Lambent Productions are filming a series of clips for BBC Learning this weekend. Full details below.

** Please note, if you want to attend you must contact them in advance (see email below). **


=========================

Here are the details of the shoot. Can you please stress that anybody who wants to come needs to phone or email me so that I can write them down on my list of dancers?! Hopefully we'll get some responses cos it will be a wonderful day if we can get a full room of lindy hop enthusiasts!

Lambent Poroductions is PARTY LIKE IT’S 1940: THE LINDY HOP on SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 9.30am – 4.30pm for BBC Learning.

We are re-creating a 40s wartime dance and we want a room full of people to be dancing the lindy hop in 40s clothing. The Jiving Lindy Hoppers will be leading the dancing but we very much want other individuals and groups to come along and show us your stuff. There will be a live band and we will provide lunch, tea, cake and refreshments and it should be a lot of fun.

Please come at 9.30am on Sunday.

Everyone will need to bring their own 40s outfit but we will have hair and make up help on hand. This is a wartime era dance so men can wear suits or military uniforms and women need 40s dresses. Have a look at these dress styles http://adore-vintage.blogspot.com/2009/07/1940s-dress-patterns.html and http://www.tangerineboutique.com/item/Post_War_1940s_dress_pattern_Simplicity_Larger_Size/494/c81

Everybody involved will get a copy of the tape!

If you are interested to come, please get in touch with Rosie on 07887745945 or rosie@lambentproductions.co.uk so that we can confirm you as a dancer.

We look forward to meeting you on Sunday!
