15th - 17th June 2012
12th - 14th October 2012
We have organised many enormously successful, and enjoyable Line Dancing Weekends at Paignton in Devon. We take over the whole hotel (over 130 people) three times a year, and have a great time, eating drinking and dancing.
The hotel has a great indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. It is extremely comfortable, and the food is great. A good number of people like to make their own way by car, but for those who do not wish to travel independentlynwe hire a coach. The weekends include 2 nights dinner, bed and full English breakfast, ending with Sunday Lunch.
We have our first dance in the beautiful ballroom Friday night, after dinner until Midnight! Saturday morning we do some more dancing, which is optional for those who prefer to go shopping in Torquay which is five minutes away. And of course there is always the option to have have a swim and sauna. There is more dancing on Saturday night after dinner until late - and this is when we take the chance to dress up! Sunday morning, we dance AGAIN until lunchtime, or some people take the chance to do some sightseeing. We depart after lunch at 3pm. arriving back in Newport around 5.30pm.
We run the weekends three times a year, with the next one on the 8th - 10th of October 2010. Please ask Vee at the classes for more details.

There can be very few hotels in England to match the location of the Redcliffe Hotel...
Situated on a promontory dividing two sandy beaches, the Redcliffe boasts a 400 metre water frontage, at sea level, in the very centre of the outstandingly beautiful Torbay, otherwise known as "The English Riviera"
Views of the sea and coastline, from elegant Torquay on one side to the quaint fishing port of Brixham on the other, can be enjoyed from all public rooms, many of the bedrooms and from the large sun terrace.
The building itself is totally unique. It was built as a private residence in 1856 by Colonel Robert Smith who served with the Royal Bengal Engineers and styled his home with a distinct Indian theme. 'Redcliffe Towers' was converted into an hotel in 1904 and original features still abound, creating an atmosphere of luxury and elegance from a past era.
Privately owned and managed by the Twigger family since 1979, the Redcliffe does, however, now offer every modern facility to ensure an enjoyable stay, whether for business or pleasure, short break or family summer holiday. And the traditional standards of service and the quality of meals served ensure that our customers return time and time again.
