Beginners/improvers welcome?
You bet! We know the idea of coming along to a social dance can feel mildly terrifying. But it's a great opportunity to try out a few moves (we're a friendly bunch, and everyone was a newbie once upon a time), meet people, soak up the atmosphere, and get better acquainted with the music. (If you're currently doing one of our courses, you get free entry.)
Where to park?
The closest public car park is called Avenue Road. You'll also find some on-street parking on the roads nearby which is free in the evenings. Please allow enough time track down an on-street space if that's your plan, and always check the signs for restrictions.
What to wear?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. We tend to keep things casual ourselves, but some folks like to dress up. It's down to you.
What to bring?
It could get warm, so most people bring a change of clothes (and some deodorant)! Also, a big bottle of bottle of water to top up your hydration levels. There are hangers for coats at the venue but no cloakroom, so we recommend packing a tidy bag.
Food and drink?
The venue has a bar selling soft drinks and alcohol, which you're welcome to make use of! Please avoid bringing in your own supplies other than a bottle of water. We also recommend keeping a snack in your bag to gobble on the way home. You might be hungry ...
BOH Studios venue
There is plenty of on-street parking nearby (please check for restrictions), as well as a multi-storey car park.
