Saturdays
Cancan 2027
Session type: Cancan choreo course ( 6 Saturdays )
in the build up to perform at Bastille Day Festival Reading
Dates: Saturdays
16th January / 20th February / 13th March / 17th April / 15th May /26th June 2027
Time: 10:30am
Option1: Complete course ( all 6 sessions ) £55
Option2: Pay as you go £13 ( needs preregistration at least 24 hours prior to avoid overbooking, space limit is 5 per session )
Duration: 1 hour
Where: Home Studio
Additional info:
The cancan choreo moved to this format as we require a certain amount of cancan dancers to perform at Bastille Day Festival and it proved difficult in the past to agree on one date for enough participants to run it. So I am trying this approach instead. This also gives individuals a chance to sign up as a one off just to get an idea of what it is ( provided there is space ) We only have space for 5 dancers at any given date to facilitate this format. Should there be more demand, then I am happy to add another session on the same dates at the same location, but that depends on demand. Thank you all for understanding.
