Our class last night was outside in the gardens as we took on the Shim Sham.

08/07/2026

Good mornin’ folks! Well its Wednesday and your newsletter is waiting for you in your inbox. It is also a very special Wednesday because tonight is the last class led by Chris & Lucy at Summertown.

That means it will be a very special night and an opportunity for everyone to say thank you for all the hard work they have put in over the years. When Andrew and I first conceived Summertown, we wanted the quality of teaching to be central to our plans. They only became a reality when Chris & Lucy agreed to be a part of it, and without them everything we have done since may never have happened.

Whether you have been away for a while, a regular, or if you are a new dancer, having joined us recently, tonight we encourage everyone to come along.

We have spoken to the school and we have the option of moving out into the gardens again, which are absolutely beautiful and very pleasant to dance in as the sun sets. The structure of the buildings around us keep the heat of the sun off the area where we are dancing and they direct a corridor of gentle breeze created by them. This wafts the sweet smell of summer blooms as we dance. It really is quite lovely and a very pleasant way to dance of an evening.

This evening we are taking on The Shim Sham, and we start at 7:30pm. As usual head to The Cherwell School South Site, Marston Ferry Road, Oxford, OX2 6UX. The class is All Levels so please get to us as early as you can.
