Exciting News \u2013 A New Twist for Our Final Class!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have something exciting to share with you! For a while now, we\u2019ve been thinking about how to create a more sociable atmosphere for our social Lindy Hop classes. While the church hall is a great space with a lovely smooth floor, and our Week 6 meet ups at Fram Ferment are always fun, we want to offer you even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for the final Wednesday of this course, on 9 April, we\u2019re trying something new, and we\u2019d love your thoughts! For our final class, we invite you to The Cartologist, a beautiful bar close to the station, where we\u2019ll have exclusive use of their stunning Summer Room. The staff will clear the space so we can hold our usual two classes, followed by an extended Social Dancing session from 21:00-21:45\u2014at no extra charge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be a perfect chance to dance with each other, practise your moves, or just enjoy your favourite swing tunes. If you have friends who are curious about Lindy Hop or just want to soak up the atmosphere and Andy\u2019s fantastic playlist, they\u2019re welcome to join us too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news for drivers: There\u2019s plenty of on-street parking nearby, and it\u2019s free after 18:00, making it even easier to join us for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy and I will be arriving early to have a bite to eat at 18:15, so if you fancy grabbing some food or just popping in for a chat before our classes start at 19:30, you\u2019re more than welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the lighter evenings, we hope this will be a great opportunity for those travelling from outside Durham to stay a little longer and fully enjoy the experience. Of course, you\u2019re free to leave at any time that suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we try this out, we\u2019d love your feedback! Would you like this to be a special Week 6 event for future courses? Would you prefer to keep things as they are? Or could this even work as a venue for all 6 weeks of a summer course?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to strike the right balance between structured learning and a relaxed, social dance environment\u2014so your input is invaluable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t wait to hear what you think and, most of all, to dance with you at The Cartologist on Week 6 – that\u2019s 9 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
