in the room. This despite a 6 hour bootcamp and a long early morning drive to Nottingham. Respect!! Pictures are posted

BluesBootCamp is on May 23d
and now open for booking
We are delighted to announce that the first ever BluesBootCamp will be held on
May 23rd in Hove.
We adore Blues dancing and so do many of our decaDance regulars. Lots
of people have requested we run a bootcamp for blues and we are only to happy to oblige. Our bootcamp will provide a perfect
introduction to blues dancing as well as a more technical foundation for those who already enjoy blues dancing. More info
is at our (still in development) website www.bluesbootcamp.co.uk
Next decaDance is on Saturday 28th Mar at Ralli Hall!!
Unfortunately the 20th Feb event at The Loft
has had to be cancelled. Apologies for any inconvenience but it is outside our control. Due to a run of great dance weekenders
and our own bootcamps we have a little time before the next decaDance. However, we sure will make it worth the wait. Great
WestCoastSwing demo, hornsman Leroy will be with us once again and we have a great mix of killer tunes
for you. 3 rooms of music, great floor, plus the return of the decaDanceoff! We do want
to save you money so if you pre-book it's still only £8. We have plenty of decaDances lined up for
you after that plus of course we have a whole host of bootcamps coming your way (see diary).
Thanks for the busiest
decaDance last saturday!!
We knew from advance bookings it was going
to be busy but WOW, that was a BIG night. By 9.30pm the dancefloor was buzzing and it never really let
up all night. We weren't far short of 150 people and had some absolutely fabulous dancers in the house. Lots
of our top locals + loads from out of town. We are really flattered by just how far people had travelled and also
the long awaited visit from our special guests from surrey :)). It was also really nice to see so many new people.
Sincere thanks to everyone for coming, dancing so beautifully and continuing to spread the word about decaDance.
Leroy + decadanceoff are
back on Saturday!!
Due to popular pressure we've managed to twist Leroy's arm
to join us to play another set on Saturday. We really do spoil you! Anyone who hasn't experienced him is in
for a real treat. He is a fantastic sax player who adds an extra dimension to the dj'd music in the main
room. We also will be running another fun quiz based decaDanceoff with defending champions Paul and Sharon determined
to maintain their crown. In celebration of Motown's 50th anniversary the theme will be ....Motown.
