Phoenix Dance Club

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Unfortunately, as we've been unable to find a suitable venue to hold our dances in Bromsgrove, with great sadness, we've decided to hang up our dancing shoes.

Thank you for supporting The Phoenix Dance Club over the many years that we've been running.

Thelma and Mick would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Still trying to find a suitable new venue to hold our dances because the Council have decided we can't hire the room at Parkside again. We'll keep you posted 🎅☃️

***Latest News***

We are really sorry to have to inform you that Bromsgrove District Council have decided to cancel all of our dances scheduled to be held in their function room at Parkside, for the rest of 2021.

Their decision is due to the measures they've had to impose because of Covid, to keep people safe.

The Phoenix Dance Club doesn't fit with their decision to restrict the number of people allowed in the room to just 15, all seated 2 metres apart.

This leaves us with no option but to search for another venue to hold our dances.

We will keep you posted if we find somewhere suitable and when we might be able to restart the dances.

Thelma and I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas. Stay safe and we will hopefully see you again next year.

Hi everyone

We hope you are all keeping well.

Sorry we haven't posted for a while, but we've been concentrating on Thelma's recovery from her hip replacement.

She's doing really well and working hard to complete the exercises her Physiotherapist has set for her.

We had hoped that we could be holding our first dance since Covid next month, but unfortunately Bromsgrove District Council are still not allowing groups to use the room at Parkside, so we've had to cancel the 2nd October dance.

We're hoping that the situation will change in the near future and we'll keep you posted about when the Council will allow us to open the doors to our dance club again.

Hello,

Sorry we haven't posted anything for a while. As we're sure you realise, we are still unable to say when it will be safe to welcome you all back to the Phoenix Dance Club. Hopefully, things will become clearer once restrictions are lifted on 19 July.

In other news, we're thrilled to tell you that Thelma finally had a hip replacement operation on 14 June and is doing well. It's still early days, but things are looking good and she can't wait for the day when she can take to the dance floor again.

Stay safe and we'll hopefully see you all again very soon.

A message from Mick & Thelma:

Happy New Year to all dancers.

Artists have been booked for dances in 2021, and we will start up again as soon as we have the all clear to do so.

Watch this space!

Coronavirus update:

We're sure it will be no surprise to you that we've had to cancel our Christmas and New Year's Eve dances this year, due to the ongoing Covid19 restrictions.

However, we are hoping (with fingers and toes crossed) that we could be running the dances again by Easter.

So, as we won't be able to see you in person, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Stay safe and well and we'll look forward to seeing you in 2021.

Mick & Thelma

Coronavirus Update:

As expected, we've had to cancel our November dances, which were due to be held on the 7th and 21st.

At least we have Strictly to watch on a Saturday evening now.

We hope you are all staying safe and keeping well.

We'd like to thank everyone for their continued support during this difficult time. Our daughter and granddaughter, who manage this page on our behalf, pass on all of your lovely messages to us.

We assure you that the Phoenix Dance Club will return when it's safe to do so. It's unlikely that we will be able to hold any dances for the rest of 2020, which is so disappointing. However, we're busy booking organists for dances to be held in 2021.

We look forward to seeing everyone again then. Stay safe and well.

Mick & Thelma

Good morning all,

As you've probably guessed, both of our October dances have been cancelled due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.

We will keep you posted with any further updates.

Good afternoon all,

We hope you're all keeping well during the current situation.

We spoke to the Council earlier this week, who confirmed with us that unfortunately they won't be opening Parkside Hall to the public until at least October 2020. This was, of course, very disappointing to hear after not being able to hold our dances for so long already, but we appreciate that they have everyone's health and safety as first priority.

We're missing our dances hugely and can't wait to welcome you all back to Phoenix Dance Club when it is safe to do so.

As always, we'll keep you updated with any developments as we hear them.

Wishing you all the best,

Mick & Thelma

Coronavirus update:

We are cancelling our two July dances - Saturdays 4th and 18th.

We'll keep you posted on any further updates regarding future dances. We are missing dancing with you all!
