moderna dance - welcome!
Here is a link to our latest newsletter.
We are a family run dance club and are proud to be called by our members the friendliest dance club in Surrey and Hampshire!
Dance Parties & Events
The first of our Live Music Dance Events.
As some of you may know I have been working with a new band, Blue Rumours, to put together a set specifically designed for dancing Modern Jive and Blues. We have had our debut performance live on air with Radio Wey shortly before Xmas. Check out our website on www.bluerumours.co.uk, or find us on facebook or twitter.
Our first appearance for dancing will be 21st January where we are taking over Wayne's Tango FFS venue for the night as he is away. Doors open at 7.30pm. I will be teaching a Tango/Blues fusion class followed by live music from Blue Rumours. We will also be playing Tango and more Blues/Modern Jive in between live sets through until 11.30pm. There will be complimentary cakes and nibbles, teas, coffees and water on hand or BYO drinks. Entry will be £10 or £7 after 9.30pm.

About us - music, dancing, lessons etc.
Music!At Moderna Dance we have come up with a unique blend of music to suit a wide range of tastes. We love variety, so our music is a mix of styles and tempos to spice up your dance experience. We mix contemporary with traditional to give a flavour of old meets new which embodies the eclectic spirit of Moderna Dance. The one thing all the music has in common is that it makes you want to dance! We hope you enjoy our choice of music and are always open to suggestions.
If you'd like to suggest some tunes please contact us!
Dancing! We love fusion so you will often see us mix elements of different dance styles (such as Tango, Salsa, Jive and Blues) into our classes. We feel this gives us greater scope for creativity, interest and expression and enables us to adapt our dance style to different types of music. Interpreting the music is important to us; to something fast and furious we could choose flashy moves with quick turns, lots of dips and tricks, but to a slower romantic song we might favour close hold simple moves and concentrate more on partner connection and subtle body movements. We like to encourage creativity and musicality in our students but above all we like you to have fun.
