Blues in the Vine - Blues & Slow Swing Workshop & social

UPDATE: Bonnie Kay and Carolyn Packer will be playing live at our social! We’re so excited to see Blues coming back to Sydney - so by popular demand, we’re running another 3 hour intermediate Blues and Slow Swing workshop with Jo and Andy. And if that’s not enough to get you excited, there’s a social with live band! When: Saturday November 11th 2023 Where: Vine Church Hall, 196 Albion St, Surry Hills NSW 2010 Cost (tickets available online and on the door, subject to availability): Workshops only $55 Social only $35 Workshop and social $85 Tickets for workshop and/or social on sale now: https://events.humanitix.com/blues-in-the-vine-blues-and-slow-swing-workshop-and-social Workshop schedule: 1.00pm: Doors open 1.15pm: Class 1 - Ballroomin' Blues 2.15: Break 2.30pm: Class 2 - Slow Swing 3.30pm: Break 3.45pm: Class 3 - Jukin' Blues 4.45: Finish Social schedule: 7.30pm: Doors open 8.00pm: Band's first set 11.30pm: Home time About the workshops: These classes will be aimed at Intermediate and above level dancers, so if you have some Blues experience or are an intermediate level Swing dancer, this class should be perfect for you. We will also have some tricky moves and technique for anyone who is up for a challenge. If you are new to partner dancing, then this class may be too hard for you. But you can check out one of Jo and Andy's All-Levels Blues classes at North Sydney. https://www.facebook.com/SwingPatrolNorthSydney/ Live band: Unfortunately Moondog has had to pull out, but we have a fantastic replacement with Bonnie Kay and Carolyn Packer - both stalwarts of the Australian blues and jazz scene, having played rollicking Blues and sweet Jazz at more than 15 blues and jazz festivals around Australia and internationally. They'll be bringing their signature style of sassy, bawdy blues and jazz from the 1920's and 1930's, accompanied by Paul Brown on electric guitar. Volunteers: If money is a bit tight, we need some friendly volunteers to help run the door at the social. In return for 1 hour of your time we’ll offer you a $20 discount - please PM Andy to register your interest: https://www.facebook.com/andy.dandy.754703 ------------------- WAITLIST: If your preferred ticket type is sold out, text Swing Patrol on 0412 309 311 with your name, the event name and the ticket you want, and we will text you back if tickets become available.
