✨ Progress not perfection!
A little throwback to last term’s classes. SO proud of this lovely lot it actually makes my face hurt from smiling!

People who have NEVER danced before
People I’ve danced with for YEARS
ALL dancing together and cheering each other on! 💕

It’s never about getting every step right, remembering every move (you can literally hear me yelling them, hehe!) or being the ‘best’ dancer.

It’s about having a go, challenging yourself, stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering that you can do things you genuinely weren’t sure you could 6 weeks earlier 🙌

When You’re Smiling! 🎶

👯Swell Sheffield! Ever watched someone dancing the Charleston and thought, 'Oooh, I'd love to have a go at that!' Or do you absolutely love to dance to Sixties music? 🎶

This is your moment!! 😉

Charleston a Go-Go is all about bringing people together to dance, switch off, laugh and have fun. With classes in solo Charleston and Sixties Go-Go...

You don't need to have ever danced before
You don’t need a partner
You don't need to be 'fit'
..and you definitely don’t need to dress up or perform - you just need to be enthusiastic and up for having a go (go!)

I know it can feel daunting trying something new for the first time, but please believe me when I say…

🎶 Nobody arrives already knowing all the steps - it’s literally my job to teach them!
🎶 Most people come on their own at first, and are made to feel really welcome
🎶 Everyone is far too busy worrying about what they’re doing to worry about anyone else

Oh, and pretty much everyone tells me they’ve got two left feet before they’ve even met me 😂

📆 I have EIGHT classes running in FOUR Sheffield venues on the week beginning 2nd November, and I'm opening the doors to anyone who'd like to come along and try a taster session.

You don't have to be 'good' at it. You just have to be up for giving it a go! ❤️

I’d love to meet you - two left feet and all!

🙌 Confusiasm
/kənˈfjuː.zi.æz.əm/

1. The act of proceeding with great enthusiasm despite having absolutely no idea what one is doing, where one is going, or whether one is doing it correctly.

2. An exuberant combination of confusion and enthusiasm, characterised by an unwavering commitment to carrying on regardless.

Example: “I had no idea which way we were supposed to be turning, but I committed to the move with such confidence that it could only be described as confusiasm.”

See also: wrong but strong; enthusiastic incompetence; winging it.

💥 One of the many joys of teaching dance is that occasionally, the English language just isn't up to the job…

…So I make up my own words instead 😂

Because sometimes the feet are confused, the arms are doing their own thing, and nobody has the foggiest what's happening next.

But we're doing it enthusiastically, and that's all that matters 🙌

🎶 HAIR HOPPERS!
Did you know John Waters built his original 1988 film Hairspray around his love of authentic 1960s dance crazes?

The Bug, The Roach, The Madison, Shake a Tail Feather (and more!) were all real dances Waters loved growing up in Baltimore, and he was determined to bring this forgotten period of “gimmick dances” back to life...

So he picked the music first from his huge record collection, then built the film around it! ❤️

To help the choreographer capture the dances as authentically as possible, he even recorded himself dancing the crazes on VHS, and brought in people who'd actually lived it — including former dancers from Baltimore's original Buddy Deane Show, who helped teach the moves.

And the hairspray? Apparently, around 60 CASES were used during filming.

SIXTY!

It's one of the reasons I love what we do in our Sixties a Go-Go classes. Iconic moves like these deserve to be danced, not just remembered!

🥰 When lovely Hilary first came along to Charleston a Go-Go, this was her biggest worry: that she might be too unfit, and not able to keep up

And her verdict after giving it a go?

"Now I know I’m totally unfit – but loving every minute and getting fitter by the week!" 😂

I love this, it really made me laugh!

You don't need to get fit before you come dancing, and you definitely don’t need to remember every step or keep up with the person next to you.

The moving, the mental workout, the accidental exercise and the lovely people are all part of the fun!

As Hilary says:
"Just do it! You won’t regret it and you’ll meet a lovely crowd."

I honestly couldn’t put it any better myself! 🥰

Taster spaces open beginning of November, and every BODY is welcome to come along and have a go(go!) x
