GROUP LESSONS

We are currently offering two weekly class times set aside as private group lessons every Sunday at the Martin Batchelor Gallery. Prerequisites are in effect, so check with us if you are interested in joining.

5:30 - Argentine Tango - Intermediate Level
6:30 - East Coast Swing - Beyond Beginner Level

These classes are run essentially as concurrent private lessons shared by those who are present. The instructor will work with students individually, giving exercises to work on and offering correction as needed.

Attendance requires instructor permission to insure all students are at a compatible level. Groups of 5 or more who want to take lessons together may open a new time slot. Cost is based on a flat monthly membership of $50/person/calendar month

GROUP PRIVATE LESSON COSTS:
• $50/person/calendar month
• Payment and registration must be in advance, never at the door.
• Minimum enrollment of 2 months is required.

For those wishing to try any of the partner dances that we teach, Carpe Noctem is now offering the first private lesson for FREE. This offer is good for each dance, so you can try them all and decide on your favorite.

Currently we offer private or private-group lessons in the following social partner dances:

• Argentine Tango
• East Coast Swing

We are currently taking bookings for Sundays at the Martin Batchelor Gallery, as well as a limited selection of times on other days of the week if Sundays do not work for your schedule. Private lessons can be booked by an individual follower, or can be shared by up to 4 individuals comprising a maximum of two partnered couples. Individual leaders can also book private lessons, but will require a partner to assist as follower. Groups of 5 or more who want to take lessons together must book private-group lessons.

To book your lesson please click on the 'Contact' button or email to carpenoctemdance {at} gmail.com.

Aug. 31st Bootcamp: EAST COAST SWING BASICS!

*NO PARTNER REQUIRED*

Learn the basics of East Coast Swing in ONE DAY! East Coast is the easiest, fastest and funnest (is that a word?!) of all the swing dance varieties. It is the ideal place to start for beginners who want to try swing dancing. Using faster blues, big band, neo-swing or electro-swing music, East Coast is also sometimes called Jive, single-time swing ("single swing") or jitterbug.

If you want to see some kids dancing pure social East Coast this quick video will give you a rough idea of what it's all about: in a word, pure FUN!

If this is your first dance class don't worry, it's perfect for beginners. Dip your big toe in and test the water.

• Topic: East Coast Swing Basics & Variations
• Date: August 31st, 2014
• Times: 2:00-8:00 PM, Break 4:30-5:30 
• Location: Martin Batchelor Gallery
• Cost: Current Members FREE 
• Non-Members: $50

Bootcamps are an ideal way for beginners to make quick progress, to review fundamentals, try a new dance and to bring a friend to try it out with you. It's also a great way to start learning the opposite role (lead vs. follow) which is the only way to truly master the dance in your primary role.

As always, advance registration by email is required for ALL Carpe Noctem classes, including bootcamps. Please do not drop-in or you may be turned away. Registration & questions can be directed, as always, to the Carpe Noctem email address.

UPDATED August Bootcamp Schedule!

Here is the much anticipated update to the August bootcamp schedule!

In an attempt to provide the best options for summertime dancing we have made a few changes to the bootcamp schedule for August. The August 3rd Tango bootcamp has been cancelled to allow everyone to attend the once-per-year Victoria Tango Festival. For details please:

visit http://www.passion4tango.com/

In addition we have made the remaining bootcamps more beginner friendly. Bring a friend, broaden your repertoire by trying a different dance, hone your fundamentals or try switching lead/follow roles from what you are used to. You can never do too many beginner classes, no matter what the dance may be!
