The famous sunken Ballroom at the Winter Gardens Pavilion on Weston’s seafront is set to play host to the biggest and most spectacular event in the dance calendar as all the colour, energy and panache of Strictly Come Dancing and Strictly Dance Fever comes to town. Hundreds of dance enthusiasts are expected to descend on the Pavilion Ballroom, which featured in the 1993 film “The Remains of the Day” starring Sir Anthony Hopkins. The 2008 Leroc UK Open Dance Championships features Leroc, Salsa, West Coast Swing and Showcase categories, as well as 2 new categoris Youth 14- 21year olds & LeRoc Ba ck to Basics: using only beginner moves to make up the dance. There are 12 competition categories being held during the day at The Winter Gardens on Saturday 26th July, with a spectacular Glitter Ball held on the Saturday night, where people can relax after the perils of competition, don extravagant outfits and freestyle the night away. The championships are not just for those who have been dancing for years, but are open to everyone who dances a modern jive, including Leroc, Ceroc, West Coast Swing, Jazz Jive and Salsa. And with 12 dance categories available, the event caters for all. Following the phenomenal success of the BBC’s ‘Strictly Dance Fever’, interest in dancing is at an all time high. Amongst the array of judges in Weston-super-Mare will be Carol Hains, who made it through to the television stages of the competition. Sherif says: “Programmes such as ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘Strictly Dance Fever’ have done absolute wonders for the profil e of dancing. “When the programme was being broadcast, the number of requests I received from people wanting private lessons shot up. It’s similar to Wimbledon fortnight – the whole of the country wants to play tennis.” “This is the fifth time we have run the event at the Winter Gardens. Last year’s event was stunning. The venue is simply spectacular and everyone had a really good time. With more people, it will be bigger and better.” Doors will open at 8.00pm on Friday for the pre-competition dance. On Saturday, doors open at 9.00am and the first competition will start at 11.00am. The competitions will continue throughout the day with Freestyle sessions in between. Then from 9.00pm until 1.00am Sunday, The Glitter Ball will see the finalists in action, the presentation of the prizes and an opportunity for all competitors to freestyle the night away. Entry to the whole weekend costs £30. For those people wishing to attend the Friday night only, en try costs £10, while Saturday entry from 9am to 1am is just £25, with ‘Glitter Ball only ticket £18. These costs do not include entry into the competitions. The event is open to all people over the age of 14.

Everything the same but bigger - we will now stretch from North Kent to Brighton. From 1/7/08 Dance Riviera has merged with Jules Jive to create an extra special independent Modern Jive dance company. Dance Riviera will now operate under the overall banner of Evolution Dance and Entertainment. After 5 years, Jim & Nicky will hand over the reins to Julian Hansford who has plans to make Dance Riviera bigger and better than ever! Julian of Evolution Dance and Entertainment Ld, the south coast's leading Modern Jive teacher, promoter and DJ for the last 9 years, brings his considerable energy, enthusiasm and experienced to take forward Dance Riviera. Jim & Nicky will still continue to teach for Dance Riviera and anywhere else that takes their fancy, and have decided that in order for Dance Riviera to be taken to the next level, it needs fresh eyes. Jim & Nicky have diffe rent priorities now as their special announcement is that they are going to become parents for the first time! Together with their new family to work on, they also have very demanding day jobs and feel that with less business demands on them, they will be able to concentrate on what they're best suited to - teaching and dancing - their passions. The link below takes you to the full announcement - this includes a personal note from Jim & Nicky. http://www.danceriviera.com/public%20announcement.html Nothing changes for the dancers, so keep supporting us! <hr noshade="" style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" /> Dance events (next 3 weeks) <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2"> Friday 18 July 2008</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">  Elloughton nr Hull - A63 </td> <td valign="top"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/org-details.asp?OrgID=528">Dance Dedication Yorkshire</a> : Freestyle at Ionians RUFC, Elloughton, nr Hull. - Brantingham Park - Ionians Rugby Club </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">  Doncaster </td> <td valign="top"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/org-details.asp?OrgID=525">Northern Jive</a> : Freestyle Party Night - Parklands Sports & Social Club</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">  Market Rasen </td> <td valign="top"><strike> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/org-details.asp?OrgID=517">Jivemania - Humberside</a> : Freestyle - The Festival Hall - Venue Changed - The Festival Hall</strike> **CANCELLED**</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">  Newark </td> <td valign="top"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/org-details.asp?OrgID=239">Jivefusion</a> : Freestyle: Newark - Kelham Hall, Newark</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">  Leatherhead </td> <td valign="top"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/org-details.asp?OrgID=42">LeRoc Surrey</a> : LeRoc Friday Freestyle Leatherhead - Tylney Hall, Leatherhead</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">  Brighton and Hove </td> <td valign="top"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/org-details.asp?OrgID=317">Jules’ Jive</a> : Flapjack Fridays - Double Bill!!!!
