English in York
Salsa night!
CONGRATULATIONS to our young Qatari students who this week received their IELTS test scores – they have achieved the grades they needed to move on to various Foundation Courses around the country. We will be sorry to lose them, but are very proud of their success!
A group of our students recently attended a Salsa class at Revolution, just across the road in Coney St. We had a wonderful time!
We began with a group warm-up, and then everyone was put into a circle, men and women. The lovely Dance Teacher, Lossie, with her male dance partner, taught us the basic Salsa step. We had to copy her, and then change partner and practise again.
Lossie then introduced a new step and again we moved around the circle, practising with different partners. For some, it was difficult to remember the steps, but everyone did their best, and after the class we carried on dancing to the music playing in the bar.
There was lots of laughter as we tripped and stumbled, but eventually most of us found our rhythm. We can’t wait to go again soon.
There will be lots of fun at Sally’s Drama Club in school on Tuesday evening. Come and join us, relax and find new ways of practising English with your friends.
