For the second time, Club La Santa is getting is getting into the Strictly Come Dancing spirit with a completely new dance event!
Our very own Arlene Phillips, or possibly Alesha Dixons(!) are Lone Damberg, Verner Nissen & Anker Tapgaard.
We’ve called the event the ”Come – Lets Dance” weeks and they are for both beginners and intermediate dancers, but anyone who wants to dance is welcome. The love of dance is the most important thing and you don’t have to sign up with a partner.
There will be 2 events in 2011, 28th January – 03rd February 2011 and 8th-15th April 2011.
Each day there will be around 4 hours dancing plus many other activities.
The week will start with a short presentation and end with a dinner in the restaurant La Casa.
The week will consists of Latin, Standard and other dances
During the week, you will get to try out lots of different dance styles such as English waltz, Cha-chacha, Jive, Wiener waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Lancers and so on.
The sessions will be in English/Danish, so everybody is welcome as long as you like dancing.
