Here is some information about our classes.

At Starz Ballet, we believe every child deserves to experience the magic of movement in a warm, encouraging environment. Our classes nurture confidence, creativity, and coordination - celebrating every dancer’s progress, over perfection. Classes start from as young as 6mths for that first taste of music and movement. Pre-school classes follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to ensure we maximise learning opportunities for our youngest dancers. These classes run over an hour, with a 30 minute structured lesson plus 30 minutes of social time with toys and refreshments!

SHOCC Dances

The Cuckoo Bushes Hall

SHOCC Dances: English Ceilidh in the South
A Ceilidh series in South Hampshire for the South of England.

Contact Information

English Ceilidh (pronounced kaylee) is a lively, energetic and upbeat version of English barn or country dancing, suitable for all ages. Bands play exciting music with good rhythmic drive from a variety of musical traditions, including rock, jazz, world and roots music as well as English, Scottish and Irish folk music. A caller guides novices and experienced dancers alike through each of the dances: you can turn up and have fun with no prior knowledge of what is going to happen. Wear comfortable shoes or trainers and cool clothing: although the hall is air-conditioned you get quite warm whilst dancing.

English ceilidh is social dancing at its best. Come with a partner, a group of friends or on your own - there will be plenty of people to dance with. Most dances are for sets of couples rather than just a couple on their own.

Times
Doors Open at 19.15 for a 19.30 start.
Dances finish at 23.00.

There will be a 20 minute or so break partway through the evening. Bring your own (alcoholic) drink, tap water will be available.

Come prepared to enjoy yourself and have a great evening.
