91 Ambleside Drive. Southchurch. Southend-On-Sea. ESSEX. SS1 2UP (It's opposite the Southend Adult Community College (SACC) & more or less across the tracks from Southchurch Railway Station. It used to be called the Railway Club)
Every Monday night from 7:00pm to 10:30pm (apart from Bank and other Holidays). Park off road in the club car park (to the left of the club from the front) or on-road nearby. Directions/Map
The first hour is exclusively for beginners, although anyone is welcome to join in - many of the dances covered here will be older dances still on the circuit which are known (?) to more experienced dancers but not perhaps to the newer dancers. We also try and inject some of the appropriate newer dances into this session, as well as teaching some of the 'after eight' (see below) dances a couple of weeks after the 'after eights' have had them so that the beginners can dance more when they stay all evening.
After the beginners comes the 'After Eights' session for intermediates and above (8 to 10:30) where we have free dancing, requests, reviews of dances (new or old) as requested from the floor and also we try and teach some of the newer/more current dances just hitting the circuit. Basically, anything goes - it's your club - Wendy and I just run it on your behalf!!
