Special News Letter: Change to Wednesday night Ceroc class times!!

Hi Everyone,

The Ceroc Dunedin newsletter comes out every 3-4 weeks and keeps you all up to date with the social events and workshops that are being planned here in Dunedin and in other towns throughout NZ. We also include interesting stories and some great dance movement advice from teachers and dancers nationwide.

I have had to create a new email account with gmail. I have transferred over the address book, however there could be a few names included in this that should not be here as it was a little difficult to maintain certain email groups. If you do not want or require informative News Letters from Ceroc Dunedin, then please reply to this News Letter with "unsubscribe" in the subject bar and I will remove you from the list. For everyone else, hopefully this new system will allow me to keep you all better informed of the news and events occurring within the Dunedin and national Ceroc dance scene.

Special Anouncement:

Unfortunately we will have to change the Class Timetable for the next two Wednesday nights!!
The Dunedin Fringe festival is well under way in and around central Dunedin. This is an exciting chance to see talented artists performing in a diverse range of events and shows. This year the headquarters, or Fringe Hub, is the First Church of Otago, with many events, including Ceroc, taking place in the Burns Hall.

Due to another Fringe performance starting at 8.00pm on Wednesday nights, we will need to start the Ceroc classes 30 minutes earlier than normal.
With the need to change audiences between shows, there will, unfortunately, be no freestyle or beginner revision class at the completion of the beginner class.

Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Ceroc is participating in the Fringe this year by way of a performance of our popular team routines and an exciting exhibition of musical interpretation within a freestyle demonstration. We will then be inviting everyone in the audience to participate in a fun, introductory beginner class

This will be an ideal opportunity to introduce your friends and family to the social atmosphere of Ceroc dance.

The program for the next two Wednesdays will be:

It is a fantastic weekend of dancing, workshops, socializing and partying!! If you can make it to Wellington then this event is NOT TO BE MISSED!

Accommodation
The Simply Ceroc weekend coming up in Wellington in October is already proving popular. The special $199 weekend accommodation offer at Hotel Wellington has already sold out, but they are still offering rooms for just $89 per night if you mention "Simply Ceroc" when you book. There are also a limited number of home-stays available with local Cerocers if you need to be counting your pennies but can't bare to miss out.
