Dance Yourself Dizzy at Minstead every Thursday

Our newest class night has now been open for almost 6 months, it has proved very popular and developed its own regular following, as well as continuing to attract dancers from across the region, currently averaging around 70 - 80 jivers at this cracking jewel of a venue.

Entry will be £7, but is currently fixed at £5. But keep your eyes peeled for vouchers given out at other DYD class nights and freestyles that will get you in even cheaper at Minstead, and also for our freestyle reminder texts that also may get you in cheaper to Minstead classes too! So come and join us to dance the night away every Thursday with DYD at Minstead!

Situated within the New Forest, Minstead Hall has a long history of holding Modern Jive events. With it's large dancefloor, great atmosphere, licensed bar and plenty of parking, right outside, it makes for a cracking venue. Although within the New Forest, Minstead is easily accessible as it is less than a mile from the A31 at the end of the M27.

Winchester Guildhall Refurbishment

Over the last 6 months, if you have come along to any of our classes or freestyles at Winchester Guildhall, you may have noticed that building work has been ongoing in and around the building. This is because Winchester Guildhall is being refurbished.

The main hall where we hold our Tuesday night classes is no exception. Work will begin on refurbishing the main hall from week commencing 26th July and is expected to take 2 months to complete.

Dance Yourself Dizzy will continue to operate every Tuesday throughout the refurbishment, in the second hall at Winchester Guildhall - located across the corridor from the main hall (the same room as used in our 2 hall events) with Danny Dj-ing as normal after the classes have finished. There will also be a second dancefloor in the bar area, with DJ Kevin 'Fruitbat' playing all your favourite latin, swing & blues tracks. This will begin on Tuesday 27th July, then every week until 21st September. We should be back in the main hall from Tuesday 28th September.

Refurbishment of the main hall at Winchester Guildhall includes removing most of the carpet - so there should be a little bit more dancefloor to use, particularly at the front by the stage. Also a state of the art air ventilation system is going to be installed - so it may be a little cooler too hopefully! Original Victorian features of the hall that have been boxed in since the 1920's are due to be revealed as well.

So do not adjust your set! Service continues as normal throughout the refurbishment, in the second hall and in the bar area of the Guildhall. With these two rooms to dance in, we should be able to accomodate the same numbers of people who would normally dance in just the main hall. We hope you bear with us during this period and look forward to seeing you in the King Charles Hall whilst the work is being completed. Please feel free as always, to approach me with any comments or questions.
