--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our first dance in 2024 starts on Monday 8th January 2024. There is a small change for the Monday dances. We are endeavouring to offer beginner's lessons. Please refer to the below schedule:
Starting Monday 8th January 2024 Danztastic Ballroom Dancing will be featuring a beginners’ class for those who would like to join in a group of ballroom dancing fraternity of people. Classes will be designed for those who never had any dance experience. Dance styles scheduled includes; slow waltz, slow foxtrot, modern tango, quickstep, Viennese waltz, cha cha cha, rumba, jive, paso doble, bossa nova, samba and other fun dances. After learning basic steps lessons will progress into sequence dances that are very popular with the older generation. Sequence dances (also includes Australian New Vogue styles) are an easy way to enjoy ballroom dancing to a set of choreographed steps that all perform on the dance floor at the same time. Our aim is to foster the physical, mental and most important, the social aspects of this amazing enjoyment activity. If interested our first lesson starts at 6pm (8th January 2024) at the Penrith Senior Citizen’s Centre.

The Ballroom Big Bash event will be held 10th to 12th August 2024 at the St Marys Memorial Hall. At this stage the theme and dress-up for this Saturday night's gig is: good, bad & ugly.

We have organised an additional dance at the Penrith Seniors Citizens' Centre for the third Friday of the month during 2023 between 6:30pm to 9:45pm. It will be a social event only (no lessons). Hopefully we can make this viable with good patronage. The scheduled dates are as:
