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.
