Essie-Jo
and Stokie
|
Essie-Jo and Stokie began running Stokie's with the intention of creating dance events of the
highest quality that were, friendly, inclusive and of course with stunning music.
They teach Tango and Blues dancing as private one-to-ones, weekly
classes, and at some of the UK's largest mixed dance weekenders. We can
also work with you to create a 'first dance' for your wedding.
Every month they host Tango, and Blues events. They also arrange and
run Stokie's three popular annual dance
weekenders.
With decades of dance experience between them, you really are in safe
hands with Stokie's events and classes. |

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 DJ Roachie play 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 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.
Door Cost: £10 before 9:30pm, £12 after 9:30pmStart Time: 8pmEnd Time: 1am

Stokie's Alt Tango Nights:Come
and be a part of the tango underground with Stokie's. We are
delighted to invite you for another night of carefree social Tango
dancing. The evening consists of an experienced Tango DJ 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; most of it not really
composed
with tango in mind.
There will be no tandas, no cortinas, no traditional tango music and no
cabaceo. Dance with who you like, ask who you like, dance for as much
or as little as you like, eat, drink, laugh, make friends and have a
good
time. What an excellent way to start your weekend!
Door Cost: £10
