Get your heels out ladies! Doe Demure, performer, instructor and Skytribe Dance Studio owner will be leading us through an interactive dance class at our monthly tonight!  She will take us through various walks, routines and burlesque pin-up poses.

Doe advises that you wear clothing that you can move in and, if possible, a pair of heels you are comfortable walking in.   If you wish, you are most welcome to dress up with gloves, stockings, bustles, etc.

Sounds like a really fun evening so come and enjoy and do what ever feels comfortable for you!

There is lots going on and we will being having a Dutch Supper so please bring along a plate of nibbles to share if you are able.   We will also be compiling a little survey amongst members for new ideas – for speakers, socials, monthly meetings etc so please take a moment to do this; we are all part of the WI and your ideas and suggestions really do count.

 

Instead of the normal raffle, we are going to do a Surprise Jar raffle, suggested by Fiona, our ‘raffle lady’! If members could each fill a jar with anything you wish and bring it along; it could be a jar of recipes, smellies, sweeties, bulbs, crafts. Use your imagination!
