Hope you enjoy all the new material as well as all the moves you may be familiar with. Enjoy!

Dean Collins Shim Sham Workshop!
Dean Collins took the Shim Sham, best remembered by the fantastic dancer Frankie Manning, and turned it into an even more dramatic and complex Stroll. Stylish and sleek Jazz at its best!
Now, it is your turn to learn the Dean Collins Shim Sham! Simply sign up for the Workshop and get to grips with each wow section within the dance, learning not only the footwork itself, but how to make it look fantastic on the dance floor!
You do not need to know the Frankie Manning Shim Sham beforehand, although that would help, but you do need to be an existing dancer of intermediate level.
You do not need a partner to book, as this is a Stroll session.
However, you do need to book your place in advance, as places are strictly limited. Book and pay as an 'Early Bird' before Mon 5th Sept and pay only £18, 10% off! After that, the Workshop is £20.

The most recent Social Dance at The Backstep Boogie Club was our Liberation Dance. The theme was to reflect France's liberation and so everyone got completely into the spirit of things and dressed up to the nines! There were more stripy tops than you could shake a stick at and quite a few french waiters too! What truly great outfits again! Everyone turned out in full force and partied the night away. Thanks to Paul Andrews as guest DJ! As usual there was the chance to pick moves from the great range taught within the Club and benefit from some 1-1 tuition during the course of the evening. And, Chicken Shack Boogie provided their usual great array of vintage clothes and accessories.

The Backstep Boogie Club's Ballroom n' Latin focus got off to a flying start last night with an in-depth look at how to dance the Quickstep and the Rumba in live social circumstances.
Lots of customers learnt not only specific moves from each dance but how to put them together successfully, and, in the case of Ballroom, when, where and why to use them to make the best of any given ballroom social circumstance.
Well done to those brand new beginners and great to see more experienced dancers improve upon technique etc.
Looking forward to next week!

There's a Charleston Competition to follow as a result! Well done both groups!

As part of the Jumpin' Jitterbugs, 8 dancers headed off for a 3-day event to celebrate in true Guernsey style! We demonstrated 1940s style dances in two amazing Tea Dances in a wonderful Hall, at a Swing Gathering right at the water's edge and also in an amazing Civic function to an 800 audience at the Beau Sejour Ball.

The Backstep Boogie Club ran two Dance Workshops recently and they were a resounding success. The aim was to get existing dancers to a higher level, blending some styles they hadn't tried before with some high level moves from styles they were used to. So, the first Workshop concentrated on Balboa, Boogie Woogie, Jazz and 20s Charleston. The second Workshop focused on Collegiate Shag, Swing Jive, LindyHop and 30s Charleston. Both Workshops were intense but before long, dancers were looking fantastic with some great new moves in their repertoire. Well done everyone! Now lets see them on the social dance floor.

Alive n' Kicking event
(customer text while on holiday)
"Took a 'Backstep' to Tenerife. I am going to 'Rock This Town' because 'I Love to Boogie'. I am in the sea with my 'Flip Flop n' Fly'. I may take a 'Sea Cruise', 'The Shape I'm In'. I may 'Jump Jive n' Wail'. 'The Cat Crept In, 'I Wonder Why', never mind. I am having a milk 'Shake n' Roll'. 'Good Golly' 'It's Late, 'Let's Dance', my feet are moving. 'Somethin's Goin' On'. I will try to keep my feet moving in my 'Blue Suede Shoes'. You are a genius. See you soon."
