Stokie
and Essie-Jo began running Stokie's with the sole
intention of creating dance events of the
highest quality, that were friendly, inclusive, with fantastic music.
They also teach dance as private one-to-ones, weekly
classes, and at some of the UK's largest mixed dance weekenders.
They host monthly
tango, blues, and SmoothX dance events. They also arrange and
run Stokie's three annual dance
weekenders. So it's fair to say that they have gained a fair bit of experience over the years.
When it comes to dance events, you are in safe
hands with Stokie's. |

Stokie's Monthly
Blues Parties:
When
it comes to blues nights we like to keep the formula simple. Fantastic
music, friendly crowd, lovely sprung wooden floor and an atmosphere
that is out of this world You may end up wondering where the night
vanished to as DJs Stokie and Roach play six hours of the finest
tunes to seduce your ears and make your feet beg you to dance. If
a laid back atmosphere, a unique blend of music, friendly dancers and a
late finish sounds like your type of a night, then have we got a treat
for you.
We have a beautiful
sprung maple dance floor, free parking, friendly dancers
from all over the UK, a laid-back, relaxed, party atmosphere
that is like no other.
There is no
licensed bar, but a small selection of soft drinks, fresh tea and
coffee is on sale through the night, and you are most welcome to bring
your own
drinks if you wish.

Stokie's Alt Tango Nights:
Come and be a part of the tango underground with Tango Stoke. We are
delighted to invite you for another night of carefree social
alternative dancing. The evening consists of two tango DJs playing a
huge variety of non-tango music for you to dance tango to. There will
be music from all sorts of times, places, backgrounds and styles. All
of it suitable for carefree social tango dancing; none of it composed
with tango in mind.
There will be no tandas, no cortinas, no traditional tango music, no
modern tango music and no cabaceo. Dance with who you like, for as much
or as little as you like, eat, drink, laugh, dance and have a good
time. What an excellent way to start your weekend!

dancing to the dawn chorus to the best music from the UK's leading
weekender DJs. Before you know it you'll have danced through 'til dawn
