Unfortunately this Tuesday AB class in Chippenham (24th September) cannot go ahead due to the school having no electricity.
They assure me that it will be back on this week so this only affects Tuesday evening Chippenham AB class for this week.
No other classes are affected.No reason not to practice the dances we’ve already covered though.
