11:17AM Jess McGuire | If the news Nikki Webster’s
dance studio is offering punters the chance to learn how to shimmy whilst clutching a handbag and teetering about in heels doesn’t tickle you as much as it did me, then I declare you have no soul.
From the press release!
Nobody will leave baby in the corner once she has attended the latest sensation taking place every Friday at the Dance @ Nikki Webster performing arts studio. Juggling handbags, heels and cocktails on the dance floor was challenging until Handbags and Heels dance classes emerged. Director Nikki Webster introduced the classes to teach women how to feel comfortable and confident when they dance with their handbags, instead of placing them perilously on the ground. “I would often see women around me struggling to move fluidly and thought it would be a great idea to demonstrate easy to follow dance movements with a handbag” says Webster.
Thank you, Nikki, for daring to tackle one of society’s biggest problems!
Students are required to be over the age of 18 and bring the heels and handbag they would wear on a night out dancing. Dance @ Nikki Webster provides a glass of champagne on arrival and plays current music to recreate a nightclub environment. “The classes are a fun way to spend a late afternoon with friends and are becoming increasingly popular with hens nights” says Webster. Transport can be arranged on completion of the class to the Sydney CBD especially for those wanting to put their newly learnt moves into action.
Personally, I cannot think of a better way to kick start a Friday night out with the girls. A little shaking of groove thangs, a glass or two of champagne until one feels suitably giggly and festive, and then a booze bus transporting you to a horrible club in the CBD where you can attempt to pick up a half-sozzled accountant who is in the mood for love after hitting the piss at work drinks!
If you ask me, this is the best bit of the entire statement.
Dance @ Nikki Webster opened on May 3, 2008 and is Australia’s premier performing arts school founded by Nikki Webster and her older brother Scott.
The punctuation – or lack of it – says it all. Dance @ Nikki Webster* is Australia’s premier performing art school founded by Nikki Webster and her older brother Scott. Sure, it’s the
only performing arts school founded by Nikki Webster and her older brother Scott, but it is also the best.
*Does this not sound like a threatening thing to do – dancing
at her in a menacing way, maybe frightening poor Nikki with your murderous version of the Macarena?
