Remember the sizzling dancers who wowed us back at the September Coffee? Well it’s time for us to make a return visit and learn a move or two from that lithe and nimble talented young dancer who took our breath away.

For the first time ever in the history of our Coffee events, our group will come together at a dance studio to shake off the winter chills and learn some serious dance moves. We will be learning a samba choreography that we will perform ‘flash mob’ style come May Farewell Party!! So, pay attention to Maria, we have a lot to learn and hopefully recall in a few months! Video clips will be available for revision purposes ;-). You will be rewarded with a simple yet scrumptious Mediterranean style brunch to replenish any calories burnt ;-)))

Attire: No gym/athletic shoes, no rubber soles (nothing that sticks to the ground). Any dress shoes, or ballet flats will do. No restrictions on outfits, so please dress up or dress down as you please as long as you feel comfortable.

Parking: The Studio is located inside Northgate Mall (opens at 10am), in between Torrid and Victoria’s Secret. Please park around the side of the mall and enter through the Xscape Movie Theatre entrance. Once inside the mall, please turn left. The studio will be on your left a few stores down.

Gathering at 10am, starting 10.15am. Please be punctual so as not to disrupt the studio’s schedule.
