Dartford's Buzz is back!

Our Halloween Ball at Dartford was a complete smash hit last night! Massive thanks to everyone that dressed up, it really made the night extra special.

We're still waiting for our Herne Bay pictures but they will be up and the website as soon as we get them.

Everyone was commenting on the buzz that Dartford has, hopefully you enjoyed yourselves too, please comment on this blog and let us know how you enjoyed it.

DJ Steve Strong played a great set and got lots of compliments, so well done Steve.

p.s., if you're going to Crayford next Wednesday (31st October), it's another Halloween night, so get those outfits out again. Thanks to Christine and others for doing the decorations etc next week.

Happy Birthday to our very own Lara Croft!

Affectionately nicknamed Lara Croft (by Jim), aka, Laura - Dance Coach at Dartford is celebrating her birthday today. Hope you have a wonderful day love!

(for those of you who are trying to place Laura, she'll be in the red hotpants for our Halloween Ball on Thursday - by massive request!)

TONIGHT Rochester Opening Delayed

Halloween Balls this Thursday 25th October

We know some of you are new to Dance Riviera and may feel silly dressing up, or may be thinking you'll be the only ones, but believe us, you won't be!

We at Dance Riviera, like to make an effort every now and then with special themed nights and a lot of dancers feel the same way. It's not compulsory to dress up but it does add a certain special something to the night's atmosphere.

Same price on the door as usual (£7) and we'll be providing some spooky tunes, as well as some sweet treats.

Jim & Nicky with DJ Steve Strong will be at Dartford and Clem & Tracy with DJ Flash will be at Herne Bay.

See ya there!

Cruising along......

Jim & I recently went on holiday with teachers Keith & Fran, and Pete & Jill on a cruise around the Canary Islands. It was for 10 days and we had a fabulous time. The boat is one of the biggest in the world and it has to be seen to be believed.

For those that have never cruised before, it's a fantastic way of seeing lots of different places, be entertained by fantastic singers, dancers, ice skating shows, live music and other variety acts, PLUS, you get fed 24-7 (perhaps not so good for the waistline!).

We'll definitely do another cruise at some point. Let us know if you've been cruising and what you thought of it. We went with Royal Carribean and we hear they're the best.

Jim & Nicky

Special Dartford tonight!

Birthday Girl Celebrations......

It's Dance Coach Cheryl's special birthday on Saturday and there'll be some special celebrations going on tonight at Dartford, so come along and help her celebrate in style.

DJ Jules from Brighton's back......

Lots of good feedback from our guest DJ Jules from Brighton, he's back this week to play for your listening and dancing enjoyment.

Jim & Nicky back from hols......

After a 10 day cruise, Jim & Nicky are back in the real world and looking forward to dancing their socks off (to lose the extra few pounds we put on :-), so we look forward to seeing all tonight.

Hi everyone

How about showing some new people what Smooth Jive's all about by dancing with us in Dartford's Orchard Shopping Centre this Saturday 20th October between 12noon and 2pm in the East Mall (outside Boots). It's an indoor shopping centre, so no excuses about being too cold to dance!

click below for the flyer. Please email Nicky on info@danceriviera.com to let us know if you're coming along - we need lots of dancers! Get a FREE entry ticket as a thank you.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Please note that unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the new venue at Rochester will not be opening on October 23rd.
This is because the venue is a new-build and will not be ready by that date.
We will be opening later this year and will let you know the date as soon as we have it confirmed.
