Tea Dance and Social - The Warren Centre, Shirley Warren

Wednesday afternoons 2pm-4pm Term Time Only

Primarily for the over 50s, this social and leisure activity has been running during term time since September 2008, and is set to run for another year until July 2010. Admission is £1 and this inludes light refreshments. All standards welcome or just come to socialise if you are unable to take part in the dancing. No partner necessary.  All ages welcome. Anyone unable to participate due to physical restrictions is still encouraged to come along to benefit from the social aspect. There is no dress code.

Every week a professional dance tutor comes to give a structured lesson with the assistance of The Warren Centre's Sue Farmer.  Dances range from Ballroom and Latin, Cha Cha, Jive, rumba, samba, Tango, Quickstep, Waltz, Slow Foxtrot.

The weekly tea dance is one of the many regular events run by the Warren Centre of huge benefit to the local community. As with many of the adult education courses and the early years (mother and toddler) groups the cost is kept to a minimum due to the funding the centre works hard to achieve. The Warren Centre is very proud to offer something for everyone across the generations in an area of deprivation, especially during the current recession.

Originally the tea dance was funded by Help the Aged Community Support Programme and Southampton City Council ,helping older people to remain active, meet or make new friends, at no cost - in order to benefit all local older people, including those with little disposable income.

The Warren Centre is primarily an adult and family learning centre, in the heart of Shirley Warren on the Shirley Warren School site.

Disability Access and parking available.
