Hi everyone,
Well it’s only a short matter of time until Andres is here and I hope you’re all as excited as I am!! I just wanted to remind you all of the times, places and general details so you’re all set. I’ve attached the timetable so you all have it but the first thing to remind you of is it that the Thursday classes will be held in a different studio to the rest of the workshop
THURSDAY WORKSHOP AT THE SEYMOUR CENTRE DANCE STUDIOS
To access the dance studios you need to enter via the stage door. Best street entrance is via the gates on Shepherd St, walk straight ahead through the gates and you’ll see the stage door in front of you. There’s no parking on the grounds but there’s a parking station on the corner of Shepherd St and Cleveland St or street parking in neighbouring streets. It is also only 5mins walk from Redfern station or 2mins from buses on City Road or Broadway.
FRIDAY TO SATURDAY WORKSHOPS AT DANCE CENTRAL
Dance Central is at Level 1, 268 Cleveland St, Surry Hills. There is street parking in neighbouring streets or it is 5mins walk from Central Station & buses.
Also, our sponsors EL AGUA FLAMENCO flamenco wear and SENOVILLA flamenco dance shoes will be following Andres’ tour around Australia. It’s the perfect opportunity to try on and buy a practice skirt, get your foot properly measured up for a new pair flamenco shoes, or talk to the artisans themselves and order a new tailor-made costume or pair of shoes.
SALLY from EL AGUA FLAMENCO will be displaying her wares in the studio
Thursday: 6.00 – 6.30pm
9.30 – 10.00pm
Friday & Saturday: Attending the Bulerias workshop, without samples to display but free to chat before and after
Sunday: 1.00 – 7.30pm (Studio 2, Dance Central. She may be buleriaing a little in the middle but I’m sure you’ll all be able to catch her sometime before or after her pataita…)
Have a look at her website http://www.elaguaflamenco.com.au and if there’s any particular design or size you’d like her to bring along get in touch.
MIGUEL from SENOVILLA ARTESANO will also be joining the tour. Gone are the days of guessing whether you’ve measured your foot correctly or if the shade of green you liked on the internet ordering site will actually turn out to be what you expected. Miguel is coming with boxes full of samples which are for sale but also to measure feet, take orders and talk to you about the best design for your foot and needs. He’ll be on hand and displaying his goods at the following times:
Thursday: 6.00 – 6.30pm
9.30 – 10.00pm
Friday: 6.30 – 9.30pm (upstairs foyer of Dance Central)
Sunday: 1.00 – 7.30pm (Studio 2, Dance Central)
OBSERVER TICKETS
If you’d like to come early or stay on to watch another level of the workshops you are more than welcome. Observer tickets are $10 per class, payable on the day. Places are limited though due to space so please email me on jessica@jessicastathamdance.com.au if you’d like to reserve your spot or come and speak to me at the workshops to see if there’s still some places available.
Think that covers everything! Please just make sure you’re at the studio and ready to go well before the start of each session. Each studio has change facilities but not many so please allow enough time.
If anyone has any other questions please feel free to email me or call me on 0435 582 872 otherwise I’m really looking forward to seeing each of you in the workshops this week.
Besos
