Lindy Hop Dance Workshops (Wednesday 16th October at 1-3pm Main Hall)
Fun, informal sessions of dance from the 1920’s – 1940’s with director and dancer, Allie Butler. You don’t have to be a dancer to do this, as long as you have a sense of fun and are ready to try something new! You will listen to music and learn some easy and enjoyable dance steps as a group. Taking jazz music and dance as the inspiration, the session will involve a low key warm up, exercises to get your body moving to music followed by a short, low impact and uncomplicated routine to a song, or make up your own version if you prefer!
Song Writing Workshops – Create a song as a group and have it played! (10am – 2pm Ferguslie Library)
Have you wanted to write a song but don’t know where to start?! Come along and join Warren McIntyre of the band the Starry Skies. You write a line he plays a chord, someone else writes a line, he plays a chord and so on, so by the end of it a new song will have been written to be performed or perhaps more than one! No experience is necessary so come, unlock your ideas & have your voice heard!
Podcasts – Have your Voice Heard!
In Motion are putting together a series of Podcasts with communities across Scotland so their voices can be heard about all things that actually matter to them. We would love the people of Ferguslie Park to be the starting point for this. Whatever your age, come along to a safe, comfortable environment to do this and meet Cameron McGarva, voice over artist and presenter of the podcasts, and tell us what your home and the town you live in means to you.
Friday Social – Friday 18th October (12.30pm – 3pm, Main Hall)
On Friday 18th October, everyone can come together for lunch, some music, dance and a chance to catch up with friends. Put your dance skills to use, have your song heard by others or just come along to join in the atmosphere – all ages welcome.
