Upcoming Events
The Spring Fling
​
Our next freestyle will be Tuesday, 25th March, and is The Spring Fling!
Dress code is to wear florals, so get your flowery dresses and shirts out - or simply pin a flower to the dress or shirt you prefer. Of course, if florals aren't your thing, feel free to come as you're comfortable!
​​​
As always, entry is £7.50 cash on the door, but there's a cashpoint at Asda a minute away if you need it, and there is plenty of free parking.
​
Our next end of the month freestyle night will be on Tuesday, 29th April - theme to be announced soon.
We'll update here with future events, and you can join our Facebook group for regular updates too.

Tim's 20th Anniversary
Twenty years of teaching anything is a feat - but for Tim, there's been a LOT of feet involved! To celebrate the anniversary of Tim qualifying as a Leroc Federation teacher, we threw a party - and lots of dancers old and new came out to play.
David Love
It is with great sadness that we share that in the early hours of this morning, Wednesday 24th July, 2024, David Love passed away aged 74.
A legend in the dancing scenes in the South, running modern jive events at Waterlooville Community Centre and co-running ALN.
​
A Celebration of Life party takes place on 21st September at St Nicholas Hall, Brooks Lane, Bosham PO18 8JZ, from 11am to 3pm.
Rest in peace David.
A Night at the Movies
We love a dressing up theme, and since we had so much fun at our last Night at the Movies event, we decided to go again! Click through below to see a few of the photos from the night.
Mad March Freestyle
For our end of the month freestyle in March, we decided on a Mad March theme, with a Weird and Wonderful dress code. To keep the theme open to everyone, we invited anyone who didn't want to dress up weird to come as their most wonderful selves - although as you'll see from the photos, there were some fabulously weird costumes!
Valentine's Dance 2024
Our traditional annual Valentine's Dance took place on Valentine's Eve this year, and we could definitely feel the love on the dancefloor! Unfortunately, our resident photographer was poorly, and so our photos this time are more of the point and shoot variety from our phones - but they still look great! Click through below to see them.
Bin The Gym Freestyle
January is always a time of getting back to fitness and our eating habits, but the gym can be so dull. As all dancers know, the dancefloor is a much better place to raise our cardio fitness... and so we decided that our first freestyle of the year would be a sports themed freestyle. Not only did we get the expected football rivalry, we had some other awesome outfits! Click through to see the photos from the night.
Coronation Dance
When there's an excuse for a theme night, it is a bit rude not to really, isn't it? So naturally, we went with the red, white, and blue theme for the week before the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla. Around 80 dancers packed the hall, and there were some absolutely brilliant outfits, with most getting into the party spirit.
Modern Jive Classics v2.0
We had such an awesome time during our first ever Modern Jive Classics freestyle in March - as well as Andy having plenty more classics to line up on his playlist - that we decided that we'd go again for our end of the month freestyle in April. More great tunes, more great dancers, more great times had by all!
Modern Jive Classics
For the end of March freestyle night, we decided on a 'Modern Jive Classics' night, which was all about the music - classic tunes from across the decades. Andy did us proud, with some absolute crackers, and there were well over 60 dancers in attendance that kept the dancefloor busy right up until the last track.
Double Trouble Treats!
Our theme night for February was Double Trouble - which is a guy dancing with two ladies at once! Tim, Anne, and Sandra taught the lesson during the intermediate slot at 9pm. Prior to that, our new instructor Sally led us through her first class with us - we're delighted to have her on board! Click through to see photos and read more.
A Night at the Movies
Our first ever night of A Night at the Movies was a huge success - we decided we all needed something to look forward to at the end of January, and didn't we just?! Over 50 dancers came out, with most making a great effort to dress up. Andy's playlist kept the dancefloor very busy! See more photos by visiting the blog - hit the button below.
The Annual Glitter Ball
This year again, our Glitter Ball was a great night! Andy played many of his usual festive tunes, as well as many requests. We hired the large hall for this event so Andy was up on the stage, giving everyone more room for dancing.
Halloween Dance
Our 'Halloween' Dance night on Tuesday 25 October 2022 was well attended. We were very pleased to see so many people, and we hope everyone enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Some brilliant costumes were on show!
Although we invite our dancers to wear costumes for our themed events, we know that there are quite a few people who don't like to dress up, so we want everyone to know you're welcome, dressed up or not!
