*** SORRY FOLKS, ITS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE ***
The following will definitely disappoint most and probably delight others.

It is with great personal sadness and a lot of health reasons that we have now decided to call a halt to our dances at Fetcham. Whilst there are too many reasons to list here, primarily following my health scare last year, I have been advised to reduce the stress in my life and this decision goes a little way to achieving that goal.

To our friends I am truly sorry for removing this from your lives, but I know you will understand and support this decision.

To all our loyal followers I can only say thank you for the support you gave, and the vibe you brought to Katz 'a' Hoppin'. You made each one special in every way and we simply cannot thank you enough for all the joy you brought to us.

It goes without saying, but I'm going to. Sharon has been hugely supportive and recognises just how difficult this decision has been to make. I love you sweetheart x

I hope we will see you on a dance floor somewhere soon.

*** THE SWING ERA ****
I listened to this program this morning on BBC 6Music. The program gives an insight into music progression in th 30s and 40s through to the 70s And interviews with some prominent musicians of the period. My favourite part was on The Savoy ballroom and its resident band leader Chick Webb and club regular Ella Fitzgerald.

Its only available able for the next 29 days so listen in quick. I hope you enjoy.

*** BLOWN AWAY ***

In the light of it being Atomic Festival and War & Peace weekend, we simply cannot express how grateful we are to you all for coming along to Katz 'a' Hoppin's Summertime Swingout. The floor was jumping from start to finish and we were treated to lots of lovely Balboa, Jitterbug, Jive, Swing, and even a bit of S**g.

Thank you to all of you that complemented the music selection, its always nice to mix things up.

A huge thank you to John Reid for doing your usual excellent photographic job, we can't wait to see them. And also it was lovely to welcome Peter Stockwell along to his first Alley Katz dance as well, can't wait to see your photos.

So here's to the next one on 29th September, and don't forget guys the Raffles Tea Dance is on Sunday 16th September, so please show Gwen and all the team your support, it's not to be missed.

Until next time folks, have a fab summer and we'll see you in September.

*** LET’S SHUFFLE ***
Such a fantastic first Pure Bal lesson. Well done everyone for making today such a fabulous lesson. You all progressed really well. Here’s to next week.

Such a gorgeous room for teaching Balboa! It reminds me of the Secret Salon so I feel very at home here.

After a relaxed yet productive first class, I’m looking forward to many more sessions here in Headley, with the lovely bunch of people I met today. Thank you to Sharon & Graham of Alley Katz for organising & inviting me to this beautiful spot!
