September 2026

Hi everyone,

What a night the Summer Sizzler turned out to be! We had a full house, and the compliments haven’t stopped since: the theme, the music, and the atmosphere all came together perfectly. Thank you to everyone who came along and made it so memorable.

Between that and June’s 80s night, it’s clear our themed events are becoming something really special, so we’re going to keep leaning into them. Read on for what’s coming up.

Also, by popular demand, we’ve reinstated the October Friday Freestyle on 16th October. So you now have two chances in October to join us.

Mark’s Thoughts: Never Too Good for the Basics

As the new term gets underway, a quick word for our more experienced dancers: don’t skip the Beginners Class.

It’s tempting, once you’ve got a few years of dancing under your belt, to see the beginners session as something to wait out before the “real” class starts. But some of the best dancers on our floor are the ones who keep coming back to basics. Revisiting your foundations sharpens your timing, tightens your lead and follow, and often reveals a small habit or shortcut that’s crept in over time.

It’s also a brilliant way to support newer dancers. A friendly, confident face in the beginners class makes a real difference to someone finding their feet for the first time.

So this month, if you’re an old hand, try dropping into the beginners class now and then. You might be surprised what you pick up.

What’s Coming Up

Off the back of such a strong response to our 80s and Summer Sizzler nights, themed events are becoming a core part of what we do - and we’ve got two big ones to look forward to before the year is out:

Saturday 31st October - Halloween Freestyle Our legendary Halloween night returns! Expect a buzzing floor, a brilliant mix of music, and plenty of creative costumes. Fancy dress is completely optional, but highly encouraged.

Friday 18th December - Christmas Dance A festive close to the year on the dance floor, full details to follow in the coming months.

Looking ahead to 2027: we’re planning to make themed events a regular fixture, with one every two months - February, April, June, August, October and December. More details as we firm up the calendar, but for now, save the dates in your mind!
