Hello,
Its the long weekend and what can be more fun than coming out to Summer Bronze+? We’re learning some fun Waltz and Rumba moves as well as some advanced-level figures. Of course, we’re also spinning our way across the room with the Viennese Waltz. Don’t miss out on the fun! Those of you who were not there last week (tsk tsk) missed out on Murray’s impromptu Jive with Olivia, one of our lovely Bookings Reps.
See you all at Summer Bronze+ and have a great BC Day on Monday!
Warm regards,

Hello,
Summer Bronze+ begins today from 6:30-8:30pm at Fraser Fitness and Dance! It’s a great opportunity to get a sneak peak of Advanced class with an introduction to some silver and gold figures. In addition, Summer Bronze+ is the only UBCDC level where Viennese Waltz is danced every class.
Harry Potter fans should note that the musical theme of the movies (which true fans will know is called “Hedwig’s Theme”) can be danced as a Viennese Waltz. Yes, that is correct, learning the Viennese Waltz will allow you to dance elegantly to the theme from the Harry Potter movies.
See you at Summer Bronze+!
