Appalachian Percussive Dance

****************************

Faversham, Kent. Thursday Evenings, term time.

At: St. Catherine's Schoolroom, Preston Lane Faversham, Kent. ME13 8LG  

If you haven't been before, it's in the churchyard of St Catherine's, as you come into the car park, turn left down the lane towards the footbridge over the railway line - you wouldn't know there was a little hall there but there is! 

Times:

Beginners

6.30pm – 7.30pm

Mixed levels (you're welocome to come early to join the beginners, for no extra cost!)

7pm – 7.55pm

Improvers

8.10pm – 9pm

Intermediates

9pm – 9.30pm

NB: Beginners 6.30-7.30pm / Mixed level 7pm – 7.55pm. This is a crossover class with beginners doing an hour and mixed level doing an hour, across an hour and 25mins – however, beginners – once you’re learnt the basics, are invited to stay until 7.55pm, if you’d like to, and mixed levels are welcome to start at 6.30pm – the price is the same, so that’s a free 25mins of dancing!

Cost: Email me for details. Discount for 2 or more classes. 

I also operate a sliding scale, for those experiencing any financial difficulties – please speak to me privately and confidentially on 07703 639 720. I would always rather you were dancing than not, regardless of an individual’s financial situation!
