If it works well and there’s interest, we expand it into a full 3-month course. 🧠 What you’ll learn Social dancing fundamentals that work across styles How to lead & follow naturally How to improvise instead of memorizing steps How a small set of basics unlocks many variations Over the full 3 months, you’ll be introduced to 12 popular social dances, including: Waltz (English & Viennese), Tango, Slowfox, Foxtrot, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Samba, Jive, Disco, Bachata & Salsa. 🗓 Practical info (test month) 📅 Start: Sunday, 25 January 2026 🕖 Time: Sundays at 20:00 ⏱ Duration: 75 minutes per class 📆 Frequency: Once per week 💶 Price: €60 per person / month (includes 4 × 75-minute classes) Open to singles & couples — no partner required. 🌍 Who is this for? Beginners who want to feel confident on the dance floor People who want a fun weekly social ritual Anyone tired of standing on the side at parties or weddings Internationals & locals who want to connect through movement ✨ No prior dance experience needed. 📩 Interested? 👉 Sign up via the Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoiCWnf4VxrzYBkUkthd-hieU4_QEViP_UFV5j8oLnDgAKYA/viewform?usp=publish-editor 💬 Dance WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BDzfpT03OqdLFCfbK4BIPn \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🕺💃 Osnove družabnega plesa — 4 tedni do samozavesti na plesišču Začetni plesni tečaj 👉 Prijava interesa preko Google obrazca: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoiCWnf4VxrzYBkUkthd-hieU4_QEViP_UFV5j8oLnDgAKYA/viewform?usp=publish-editor 💬 Pridruži se naši plesni WhatsApp skupini: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BDzfpT03OqdLFCfbK4BIPn (skupina bo namenjena vprašanjem, obvestilom in koordinaciji) Se ti je že kdaj zgodilo, da si na zabavi ali dogodku stal/-a ob strani, medtem ko so drugi plesali? Zaganjamo začetni družabni plesni tečaj, osredotočen na samozavest, povezovanje in uživanje v plesu na družabnih dogodkih. To ni tečaj učenja zapletenih koreografij. Gre za to, da se naučiš naravno gibati, začutiti glasbo in samozavestno plesati z vsakomer. 🔥 Ideja Začnemo z 1-mesečnim testnim obdobjem (4 tedni). Če se izkaže in bo zanimanje, tečaj razširimo v polni 3-mesečni program. 🧠 Kaj se boš naučil/-a? Osnove družabnega plesa, ki delujejo pri različnih stilih Kako naravno voditi in slediti Kako improvizirati namesto učenja korakov na pamet Kako z majhnim naborom osnov ustvariš veliko različnih variacij V 3 mesecih bomo spoznali 12 najbolj pogostih družabnih plesov, med drugim: angleški in dunajski valček, tango, slowfox, foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha, samba, jive, disco, bachata in salsa. 🗓 Praktične informacije (testni mesec) 📅 Začetek: nedelja, 25. januar 2026 🕖 Termin: vsako nedeljo ob 20:00 ⏱ Trajanje: 75 minut na uro 📆 Pogostost: 1× tedensko 💶 Cena: 60 € na osebo / mesec (vključuje 4 × 75-minutne ure) Tečaj je odprt za posameznike in pare — partner ni potreben. 🌍 Komu je tečaj namenjen? Začetnikom, ki želijo samozavest na plesišču Vsem, ki si želijo zabavne tedenske rutine Tistim, ki ne želijo več stati ob strani na zabavah ali porokah Tujcem in domačinom, ki se želijo povezati skozi gibanje ✨ Predhodno plesno znanje ni potrebno. 📩 Zanima te? 👉 Prijava preko Google obrazca: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoiCWnf4VxrzYBkUkthd-hieU4_QEViP_UFV5j8oLnDgAKYA/viewform?usp=publish-editor 💬 Plesna WhatsApp skupina: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BDzfpT03OqdLFCfbK4BIPn

\*\*\* Note: Our Feb 10, 2026, meeting will be our semi-annual club speech contest. As a result, guests who attend will not experience a typical Toastmasters meeting. Guests are more than welcome to experience a speech contest. \*\*\* At Toastmasters, we empower individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders. Our meetings provide a supportive and positive learning environment where members grow through prepared speeches, impromptu speaking (Table Topics), and constructive evaluations. Whether you're looking to overcome your fear of public speaking, enhance your work communication, or develop leadership skills, you're welcome here. Guests are always invited to observe first. If you'd like to speak, we’ll ask before inviting you to participate - no pressure at all. See how Toastmasters can help you build confidence, develop new skills, and connect with a community focused on growth.

\*\*\*MOVED TO SECOND SUNDAY TO AVOID GLOBAL GAME JAM\*\*\* Join local video game developers, artists, musicians and writers to talk about the art and science of game development. Bring a device and demo your game, talk shop, find like minded folks to join forces with, have a snack or a beverage among new friends. We are an informal meetup where we share what we've been working on and socialize. Come for all or just a bit of the time!

You love your home club - so do we! But do you sometimes feel that the evaluations you're receiving leave something to be desired? Do you wish you could get some ideas from more experienced presenters? Are you wanting to work on a presentation more than once, getting feedback as you develop it? Us, too! Winner's Circle is a more advanced Toastmaster club to meet the needs of the more advanced members in our area. If you want to fast-track your skill level, this might be the right club for you! (You don't need any particular designation to be in this club!) We meet at 6:30 for social time and dinner (yes, we bring potluck!) then start the actual meeting at 7:00. Regular meetings are the first and third Fridays at 7 p.m. in Ashburn. Call Cheryl at 703-707-0863 for location details and more info.
