Dance teacher Norma Daykin

Norma Daykin

We are thoroughly chuffed that Norma Daykin, friend of SpringOut and dancer supreme, is going to be teaching the latin & ballroom classes at our tea dance at the next Aberration on 31 May in Aberystwyth.

Norma is based in Bristol where she has taught classes in latin, salsa and ballroom dance for over 15 years. She is a qualified dance teacher (UKA) and FitSteps instructor. She is also a musician and band leader who specialises in live music for all kinds of dance events. As well as learning the steps, you will benefit from Norma’s extensive musical knowledge and experience, gaining a deeper understanding of dance rhythms and music.

Norma currently works with various organisations to provide community dance events in Bristol for a wide range of participants. In partnership with Dance Factory Bristol she offers regular Strictly Pink sessions for LGBT dancers and friends. She also offers workshops in Wales, including a forthcoming salsa and yoga weekend in West Wales on 5/6/7 September 2014.

Rainbow Film Festival 2013

The Shropshire Rainbow Film Festival was a great success. SpringOut programmed some of the films and discussion sessions. We brought Canadian Film-maker, Heather Tobin over to introduce her film Route of Acceptance and lead a discussion after the screening. She was an absolute delight and a good sport, helping out ‘on the sofa’ with Rainbow Film Festival’s Will Allaway to discuss the shorts on the Sunday

The festival was a roaring success with more tickets sold (bums on seats) than ever before and great feedback. Our other two films were Stud Life – a Black British film made by Cambell X and a must-show for us, and Margarita – a jolly sell-out on Saturday night
