Hoping this newsletter finds you in good health both physically and mentally.

A2Z.Events would like to act as your companion to events, online and in "Real Life".
Places where you can receive talented tuition and spend time with new people.

We are all on that bumpy road - sharing it with others may just help turn those frowns upside down. Dancing or achieving the downward dog won't heal the ills of the world but hopefully will put them in the distance for an hour or two. 

Try something new and let me know.

We are aware of widespread job losses but also know that many are bouncing back by setting up new activities.  Certainly where I am based in London the parks seem to have a new thriving community of outside lessons for people young and old, varying from boxercise through to book reading sessions.

If you are one of those hosts, or know someone, please list, free of charge on A2Z.Events, so we can swell your audience.

It is free to list your VIRTUAL or REAL LIFE (following local guidelines) activity, on www.A2Z.Events.

UPCOMING

Split between real life activities, streamed online/live content and video courses hopefully means that if you are in a lockdown area not only is there an activity to undertake but also the hope that your locality will open up soon.
NB - All details in newsletter based on UK time.

VIRTUAL EVENTS

This Thursday a solo jazz and charleston workshop is being taught by Swing Dance UK. 

Zumba Fitness is taught virtually by Deimante each Monday and Wednesday whilst Friday's streambased session is based on stretch and strength

A free 1-hour Tango online starter session can be taken any Thursday with Tango Integral.
 

Socially Distant Sunday with Rasa starts with bachata styling at 5.30pm

ABC of Vernacular Jazz – A beginners guide to Jazz dance is a Thursday session from Swing Dance UK.

Starting on 15th September, an online course in Flamenco surely will get your feet tapping and your hands ashaping.

REAL LIFE EVENTS

This Friday you can take an introduction to Cuban style salsa in Victoria Park, East London. 

On Monday 31th August, there is a Bank Holiday Special Edition of Outdoor salsa, bachata and cha cha classes in Vauxhall, London.
We'd urge you to support this event as the planned 4-day event sadly has been cancelled - as a result of a noise complaint against a test event that saw a live band play in completely covid safe outdoor space. The loss of the big event affects the community and the artists for whom there has not been any sort of safety net.

Please take a lesson or two and help the dance teachers.

On Wednesdays from the same team in Vauxhall, there is Salsa, yes real salsa lessons from 7-9pm.

ONLINE COURSES

Salsa Footwork - It's all in the feet - an online Salsa Rapido course, presented by Alastair, is an excellent way to start dancing and to remember what you've forgotten.

This Online Self Defense And Martial Arts beginner/improver course allows you to practice from home in your own time where you will discover that remaining calm and feeling confident and healthy becomes habit. 

You can help Stop Transmission by being aware, washing hands, wearing masks and maintaining the recommended social distance.

Please be Happy, 

Leigh and the A2Z.Events team
