Christmas Party 2014
Our evening Classes come to an end this Thursday evening with a little Christmas Party... so consider yourself invited, whether student, friend, family, or aficionado of early dance.
6.30pm, Thursday 18 December 2014, at 181 Blues Point Road, North Sydney.
´Tis the season to get together with our dear friends and supporters, to celebrate a year of ancient dancing, and shake a leg or two. We’d love to see you if you have the time. You know the routine – a plate of finger food &/or drink to share (cups, plates &c provided). There is no charge, and as ever, friends, family members and anyone with an interest in early dance are all most welcome.
Hope you can make it if you’re in the vicinity.
With best wishes from Fiona & John.

Finding dance music
While we lament the shrinking number and size of classical music retail stores (and the annoyingly inapt classification of all music by “song” and “artist” rather than by “composer” and “work”), the online music business has provided some fringe benefits for early dancers. Instead of having to buy a whole CD just for the odd track used in class, now it is possible to be selective, preview individual tracks and be (almost) instantly gratified with a download.
Of course there’s nothing like the pleasure of browsing in a serious music shop, and buying real CDs for quality of recording and supporting information. So don’t forget to support our local music stores such as Fish Fine Music (http://www.fishfinemusic.com.au/) and the ABC Shops in Sydney, which in turn support local artists and the classical recording industry.
See http://www.naxos.com/buyonline.asp for an international list of retail and online suppliers.
For downloads we suggest:
Classics Online (http://www.classicsonline.com/)
Bigpond Music (http://bigpondmusic.com/) with unmetered downloads for its internet customers
iTunes
(Amazon sells physical CDs, but its music downloads are not available in Australia)
Christmas Party 2013
A belated note that our classes conclude for the year with a Christmas Party on Thursday 19th December, 6.15pm for 6.30 – 9.00 pm at 181 Blues Point Road, North Sydney.
We’d love you to join us— students, friends, family — for a little chat, cheer (of the non-alcoholic variety), and general choreographic recreation.
* Wear something cool & festive, and don’t forget to bring those dancing shoes
* Finger food &/or drink to share would be most welcome (nothing that needs knives/forks) – cups & plates provided
With best wishes for the holidays & Christmas festivities,
John & Fiona.
