    Wrong Prom

    Where good music and daggy dancing collide......

    In a mass dance class for over 18’s, professional dance instructors teach the moves you’ve always wanted to master from classic dance films like Footloose, Dirty Dancing (get out of that corner!) Saturday Night Fever and Xanadu (bring your own roller-skates!).

    Get here at 7.30pm to start learning the moves in the dance class, and then throw your own shapes on the dance floor until late.

    Wrong Prom #3       Saturday Night Fever   8 July from 7.30pm
    Wrong Prom #4       Xanadu Roller Disco *  5 August from 7.30pm
