For those of you who don't know... We have two "Roulette" classes every week.

One is Pole Roulette and the other is Aerial Roulette.

These classes are ideal for people who love variety and fun... But also for people looking for a drop in class because they can't attend every week due to work or family commitments etc.

At the end of each class we choose what the following week's class will be, at random using a little "mystery ball" system.

So for Pole there's options like... Party Pole, Pole-Ates, St****er Style, Pole Yoga and more.

For Aerial there's options like... Mini Equipment, Aerial Barre, Silks, Moon and more.

So if you like variety and banter over constant progression then these classes might be ideal for you.

Aerial Roulette: Tuesday 21:30
Pole Roulette: Wednesday 20:30

In the words of "So Good"

I will love you until there are no love songs
I will love you until no countries are bombed
I will love you until Dolly Parton is wrong
Therefore: I will love you forever

She will be missed.

Here's a wee bit of info about our newest addition to The Dance Shack family... Megan!

Megan will be leading our new Monthly Yoga workshops which start on Sunday 30th of August!

Here's some words from Megan...

"Hi, I am Megan! I have been practising yoga since 2009, finding it after a shoulder injury and staying for the zen!

I completed my initial 200 hour teacher training in India in 2015, studying with a great team mixed with traditional Mysore trained instructors and yogis from all walks of life.

Since then, I've dipped in and out of teaching alongside my mental health nursing career and added a few more bows, including mindfulness and pranayama practice and a formal Yin Yoga course.

I'm excited to now be offering classes and workshops more regularly and looking forward to meeting more Kirkcaldy yogis!

My classes are all about inclusivity and celebrating what your body and mind can do. I have a relaxed style and like to thread the traditional yoga philosophy into a flowy class.

The most common thing people say to me is "oh I tried yoga but I'm not good at it" - my answer to that is: keep coming to class! Yoga is suitable for all bodies and all abilities and anyway, it would be boring to be perfect on your first try!

Yoga isn't about touching your toes, its about what you learn on way down there!"

If you fancy coming along and joining Megan... The workshop details are...

"I think Kirkcaldy is a town of hidden potential and I think people are blind to that potential.

I held a town meeting recently and quite a few people turned up which was surprising for a Tuesday, and the amount of positivity, hope and great ideas that came from that was mind blowing. I'm just collating information before organising the next one, but it will be very soon.

20 years ago, there was a big drive by Fife Council to promote tourism in Kirkcaldy because there was no tourism, it's still the same but the idea I had was from my own experience of surfing in Cornwall with my pals. I remember walking up a hill and seeing people in the water, doing all sorts like bodyboarding and surfing. I couldn't believe my eyes. Cornwall tapped into their potential and utilised their best asset. I wrote the council a letter in 2006, which I found recently and it basically said that if you're wanting tourists to come, utilise the water. Start small, look at the tidal pools up the coast that have been built since then, Cellardyke for example and of course, nothing happened.

There's now this plan for a community hub that's been spoken about. I'd been to all the meetings and I know my opinions are well known but who is going to travel to Kirkcaldy to come to a hub? The only ones desperate for it are the builders building it. Build a sea pool, it doesn't cost much, those towns are heaving all year around. The potential we have for that kind of thing is VAST. Invest it in the older buildings in town of historical importance. We're not a linoleum town anymore, things have changed, Kirkcaldy needs a new identity.

I think the passion of the people who care is fantastic. When we had that meeting, I said one of the best groups we have is Growing Kirkcaldy. Alice is an absolute gem of a woman. The town looks so much better thanks to them. What about a group called "Cleaning Kirkcaldy", or "Mending Kirkcaldy... anything that can be done to spruce up the town.

I do the walking festival in Kirkcaldy, I took that on and I do that because it benefits the town. Same with the Halloween festival, we had storytelling and dancers. I don't make a penny doing that but it promotes positivity and we all have a duty to do that for our town. If you're not willing to do that, then you don't have any right to moan. There's far too much of that on social media.

My idea was for us to be a festival town, have events all year around and cater to particular niches like music, movies or the arts. Look at how successful the Wemyss Cats have been. A big music festival for example, there's one in Leven, Lochgelly and other smaller places now, where's Kirkcaldys music festival? Look at how amazing our music scene is in Fife.

People will come to Kirkcaldy if they have a reason to come. We had the Christmas light event last year and we had Glenn Macnamara singing, who's a big name now and he helped out because he's from here. He loved being a part of this, and the event was busy all day long. It could have done with being spread out a bit more but we're learning. There's just so many things we can do here and with enough of us, we can get something going. We need younger voices here because this is all for them, it's for their future. It's your town, use your voice. If we engage them with this hope that we have, let them see it.

The shops are dead, things have changed now on the high street. The independents need help, they need support, they'll not benefit from this hub. Make parking free for 2 or 3 hours. When the big names left, Kirkcaldy never recovered so how do we take what's left and utilise it to its potential. Put a skate park/roller rink in the old BHS building. Build a climbing wall in the town centre, make it the biggest in Scotland for example... Climbers from all over want bigger and better... Give them it and they will come.

Lets make the town shine again, and that won't come in the form of some soulless building, it'll come in the form of leisure, by utilising our best asset, our waterfront. By giving people a reason to come here and fall in love with it

"Just like I did 30 years ago"
