This sounds great!  Would you be prepared to work with a bunch of teachers after school hours?  If so I may mention this to the staff at my school.

Certainly. Please do mention it to them. Is there anything else you need to know before you do?

Best wishes, Derek D.

What times would you be available after school to run a class?  How much would it cost per session or for a group of sessions?  

 

I will ask them the staff and get back to you with numbers.  I think we'd need a fair amount for it to be worthwhile.  Our school is in Enfield by the way.

Just reread your post.  Perhaps we could start with the one off session and take it from there.  Again I will ask staff if they're interested.

Yes, we should start with just one session: for the staff to see what it's like ( I promise you it's fun and enjoyable!); and for me to see how the travelling would be. I do not drive and live close to Arnos Grove tube, and have to use public transport. So Enfield might be a bit awkward for me. What is the name of the school? I can work out bus routes, and let you know if OK.

I am presently free on Mondays and Fridays, and prefer early rather than late. How early could it be? We can talk costs later if all else is favourable to us all. Best not to mention to your colleagues yet until we've explored these things further. Incidentally, I have four teachers in my Thursday Advanced class at  Ruth Winston Centre. Best wishes, Derek Dightmaker.

Dear Kay

As I haven't heard from you yet, I thought I'd offer you my tel. no. so we could converse more easily. If there is still interest in a trial Latin Dance class please phone me on 020 8292 2551. Please let me know one way or the other so I can allocate my time. Hope to hear from you. Best wishes, Derek Dightmaker, ADTA (Retd.).

Dear L, thank you very much for your call last night, I'm sorry I wasn't around. I am so glad your group enjoyed themselves, and will certainly be happy to run another session! Will contact you shortly by phone, as requested.

Dear JT

Thank you for your letter and the kind comments. It really was a a reward in itself to seel your ladies enjoying themselves (and Freddie also!)

Yes, of course we can do it again - just give me a ring when you have a a couple of dates free in your club calandar. Best wishes, Derek D.

Dear Iris L.

Thanks for your card. Yes,  Fri. 31st will be fine. No, eight would not be too many for the space available. Yes, I bring my own music and player. Your friends need to bring only their sense of humour. Ordinary day shoes are fine - preferably not rubber soles, as we'll be dancing on carpeted floor. All I need is a working electric point and a small table or even a chair. I look forward to seeing you all at 4pm.

Dear Rachel

Sorry I can't manage the date you wanted as I teach a class at the Ruth Winston Centre  on that day. If you'd like to phone me perhaps we could find another date. Best wishes,

Derek D.

Dear Rachel

Thank you, thank you! Of course - I'd be delighted. Yes: Salsa, Mambo, Merengue: can do.

Tango? No, not really, because you do need a partner for that dance. Ditto Foxtrot, Waltz, Quickstep, Viennese W.

I stick to teaching dances and step patterns within those dances where a partner really isn't necessary.  

See you on the 9th. Best wishes,

Derek D.

Dear Iris L.

Thank you for the generous donation which I have passed to the Ruth Winston Centre. I enjoyed meeting you all and I thank you for organising it.  Your group were really keen, and yes, I would be delighted to "do it all over again"! You have my number, so I'll wait to hear from you. My best wishes to you and your group, Derek D.
