Last Friday saw us at the Launch of Jive Plus’ “Thank Friday It’s Freestyle”, teaming up with Shirley Herron, we taught a master class on how to really make the most of those lush moments you hear in the music, play within the phrases and add elegance and style to our dance… then followed this up with the delicious tunes of Mariachi Lite!!!

And now the days are getting longer and spring is just around the corner which brings with it many new delights…

First up on 7th Feb we have Momentous Moves workshop, where CJ & Pauline will show you how to make the most of divine musical moments!!! And we follow this up with the 2nd of our bi monthly Mariachi Tea Dance - lush tunes, cakes galore and some lovely dancers – what better way to round out your weekend!!!

And there is still time to book the early bird specials!!! Just email us by 4 Feb at
bookings@mariachi.info to secure your place at the discounted rate of £20 for workshop & Tea Dance and £8 for Tea Dance only.

And April brings you the Passion of Mariachi, Resurrecting Expressive Dancing!!!! join us for a weekend of Easter Mayhem which is going to include Full Phat Mariachi on Saturday night with special guest DJ Blueshoes and an extended 6hr! Sunday Tea Dance with yet another guest DJ the divine Revdrop and in addition to all that decedent musical goodness there will be workshops Saturday & Sunday, as well as the usual cakes on Sunday there will be special Easter treats

There will be more details as we have them!! But for now know that this is the one you don’t want to miss!!!

Then the first weekend in February, we are back in Scotland again for our bi-monthly tea dance and workshop in Rosyth. This workshop is entitled “Momentous Moves” and CJ & Pauline “Cheeks” Roddy will be focusing on nice moves which will help express “moments” in the music.

There’s nothing worse than knowing a really nice moment is coming up in the music, getting all prepared then hearing it go “woosh” as it passes you and your partner!! Well, this workshop is going to tool you up with lots of moves and variations to ensure that both follows and leads can pick the right move for the moment, then milk every single drop of musicality and style…

Pauline has an extensive background in dance starting with tap and ballet as child and followed up by Modern Jive, Ballroom and Argentine Tango and most recently West Coast Swing. Since starting Modern Jive 6 years ago she had been in numerous cabarets performing around Scotland and competing around the country, In addition to cabarets she has won and placed in a number of competitions so brings a wealth of knowledge that you won’t want to miss out on to this workshop.

We aim to gender balance, so please book in advance.

Early bird special £20 for workshop & tea dance if booked before 1 Feb, after that £20 for workshop only or £25 for workshop & tea dance.

Following on from Decembers decadence - we are delighted to roll out our first Mariachi Tea dance of 2010 here in Scotland. We look forward to lots of cake, and we will provide tea/coffee/biscuits, etc to enjoy under the backdrop of Mariachi: music demanding to be danced to…

Not as intense as Full Phat, these Tea Dances will still push and stretch U as well as bringing new favorites and old friends~ some of which U haven’t met, yet~ and, of course, the hourly experimental track… occasionally with the emphasis on mental!!!

PLEASE BOOK IN ADVANCE. Please book quickly as it will be first come first served and we will be gender balancing.

£8 advance £10 door
