Booking in for Aquafit ?
There seems to be some confusion over the booking procedure. Members who would like to book for Aquafit have to do so six days in advance, not straight after the lesson. This then gives everyone a fair opportunity to book for the class, as it has limited spaces. If you choose to book into the class by phoning in then you can only book yourself in, on that call. If you are away on holiday, someone else can call in on your behalf, but would then have to hang up and call in again to book themselves in, thus making it fair for everyone. I hope that clears up the confusion - remember if you can’t make it to a class then do let us know, Thank you.
‘A Day of Latin Dance’- Sunday 22nd June
You are invited to a fantastic ‘Day of Latin Dance’ at Holbrook House on the Sunday 22nd June. Keith Parker and Rachel Pearson fully trained professional dance instructors in Argentinean Tango, Lambada, Chachacha, and Batchata, will be hosting the event. It starts at 10.00am in the morning and goes on until 12 midnight, with breaks thought-out the day. Refreshments will be available to purchase from our talented ‘Chefs Kitchen’ throughout the day. You can either wine or dine in the Stables Bar or the Hotel restaurant, or sit outside ‘al fresco’ and rest your dancing feet!
The event will finish with a ‘Gala Evening Dance’ where you are able to dress up and show off the entire new dance routines you have learnt though out the day, in an informal relaxed atmosphere. Tickets cost members the complimentary price of £20, normally £30. There will be a prize for the best dancers at the end of the evening, so please come along and enjoy yourselves in a wonderful celebration of Latin Dance at Holbrook House!
