Dorset Gardens Trust – A Talk by Diana Guy

The Dorset Gardens Trust have hired Stourpaine Village Hall for a talk by Diana Guy, winner of the first BBC Gardener of the Year competition.

She is a specialist in hellebores and a highly sought after garden lecturer already known to DGT. Diana will give an illustrated talk looking at the range of species and cultivars of hellebores and how to use them to the best effect.

An added attraction is that there may be unusual hellebores for sale.

Stourpaine residents who are interested are welcome to come and pay on the door. Cost £8.

Village Hall – Tea Dance

On Sunday 18 February Sue (Bosworth) and Caroline (Jones) are holding a Tea Dance at the Village Hall in aid of Durweston Choral Society. You’ll start with a glass of fizz, then learn two simple moves of Modern Jive, followed by tea.
Modern Jive is easy and a lot of fun – ‘a dance style derived from swing, Lindy Hop, rock and roll, salsa and others, the main innovation being to simplify the footwork…..’ Just two moves can be the antidote to loud music at parties! Peter and Caroline will teach the moves. No partner needed though. And if you really can’t/don’t want to dance, come and enjoy the occasion.
Sunday 18 February
3.00-5.00pm
Cost £7
Tickets from Caroline 01258 458 557 / 07976 426 989 or Sue 01258 454 605

Lindyhop Dance Class – 13th January

Lindyhop Dance Class on 13th January

Strictly Swing in Stourpaine – Sunny Side of Swing, jazz/swing/blues band played in Shroton Village Hall after an introductory Lindyhop class and this was a great success, with dancers (experienced and beginners) attending from as far as Chippenham and Axminster. So Claire & Peter will be offering Lindyhop classes once a month (2 classes and social dancing with a DJ), with the band playing every 3rd month (with one class).

The next dance classes evening will be on Saturday 13th January at 7.30 p.m. [doors open 7.30, class starts at 7.45] at Stourpaine Village Hall, cost £6.
Bring your own drinks (and food, if you wish).  Some soft drinks will be provided.

Lindyhop is a partner dance that originated in the 1920’s and 30’s in Harlem. It continued its popularity well into the 40’s during the Swing era and draws from earlier Charleston and Jazz steps and precedes jive and jitterbug. The Charleston routines on Strictly include several of these and are often choreographed by  one of Claire & Peter’s dance teachers.

The name ‘Lindyhop’ comes from Charles Lindbergh flying solo across the Atlantic to Paris in 1927. It’s great fun and there’s no need to come to classes with a partner.
