Like us, many of you see this as the opportunity for a late summer break in Bridlington. Bridlington is a beautiful Yorkshire seaside town, and the location of the fantastic newly refurbished Spa Ballroom.

DANCING FOR PLEASURE
With Maureen and George.
Present.
50/50 Dance is on July 12th
In the Dance Lab
Dance City Newcastle
We have a lovely spring floor and lots of room.
2p.m. 5pm.
A Tea is provided by the Cafe Urban and included in the price.
We dance to live music provided by Colin and Stuart Haikney
Our Theme this year is Mid Summer Madness, and if enough people dress up with that theme we will provide a prize for the winner.
We are currently in the process of booking two local ballroom competitors who will provide a demonstration.
This will be followed by our own competition for Social Dancers.
Over recent years many young people have learned to Ballroom Dance .
As in all other activities in life some are more competitive than others, so we have decided to run a
Dancing for Pleasure Ballroom Competition.
The competition is for dancers who are not competition trained but would like to have a go.
The dances will be the Catherine Waltz and the Sindy Swing
The Winner and runner up will receive a medal, a certificate and a bottle of wine.
The Rules.
1.This competition is strictly for dancers who have not competed before.
2. There is no age restriction
3. The competition is open to everyone, so come and have a go.
4. Competitors have to pay to come into the dance but there is no charge to enter the competition.
5. The Judges decision is final. We will send details of judging criteria to the couples as they register.
6. Anyone who does not fit this criteria will be excluded from the judging.
We hope you will join in the fun.

July Editorial – My Thoughts for the Day.

My thoughts for the day are that if the world of dance would start to work and co-operate with one another instead of competing, we would have a happier and progressive future.
Once again I have written and asked for information from another Association, about the competition times dates and costs and have had no reply.
I know we have new dancers coming into this site looking for information on when and where competitions are so they can attend. Names, familiar to the regular dancer, means nothing to them. They have all those Who, What, Where, Why and When questions they want answered. If we want new dancers to be part of the family we need to inform and encourage.
Basic information on times dates and entrance costs is all that is necessary. It would be nice to have the names of competitors and the running order and the names of the judges prior to the comp. but, this is a very busy time for the organisors and the basic information is at least a start.
On the other hand there are people who are considering the role of the Dance Teacher and wanting to know about Associations and what their objectives are before taking up membership, and that is why we direct readers to their web sites.
New dancers, and we have between 120 and 160 every term in our own classes so we do have some idea about the information they seek, could be a potential customer of your service.
They use this site because it provides the links they want and can explore. So what is stopping you. You may have your advertising on another site but readers of this blog may not visit that site.
The advertising is free, the promotion of your holidays and services is also free but, we can only do this if we know where you are and what you are offering.
We do this because we want dancing to be part of the lives of as many people as possible, and seek your support.

Our Humour Editor is on a Cruise in the Med and it is not that I am jealous or anything, and I know this is a bit jangly and not to her normal standard but, I have printed it anyway.

We noticed someone was looking for a dance shoe shop in Newcastle. We are going into Stage Struck, Percy Street Newcastle (opposite the Haymarket Bus Station) today to buy dance shoes for ourselves and our Children. There is also another branch of the same shop in the Metro Centre Gateshead.
There is a chain of these shops across the country and their online service is at
