SUMMARY:Balboa workshop with Sam & Jo
DESCRIPTION:If you want to work on your Bal\, or are keen to learn\, then we’ve a real treat for you\, at the beautifully restored Stretford Public Hall. Sam Dobbie from Bristol will be joining our own Jo Barnes\, to deliver two one hour workshops… \n10.30am Suitable for everybody\, including complete beginners. \n11.45am Suitable for improvers\, or those that attended the first class. \nAfter lunch\, the Friends of Stretford Public Hall are running a jazz tea dance with live music\, and they’re offering half price tickets to workshop attendees\, available from the Stretford Public Hall website. \nSam’s dance journey started out in 2012 after being brought (or arguably dragged) along to a lindy hop social in Toronto\, Canada. After some trepidation he found he did actually enjoy dancing after all\, and quickly found classes for blues and balboa as well as lindy. Fast forward to the current day and Sam regularly dances and teaches all three styles\, and is one of the founding members of Bristol Swing Riot. As well as dancing\, he DJs for socials and is a self confessed music nerd. \nIf you don’t know Joanne\, then where have you even been? Jo is one of Manchester’s most prolific swing dancers\, and even if you think you don’t know her\, we’re fairly sure that you do! She got the balboa bug some years back\, and has lost count of the hours of classes and dances she’s attended. Jo has been a driving force behind Manchester Balboa workshops both before and during the pandemic\, and she can’t wait to share her passion with you. \nFor more information click here\, \nTheir social media click here \n

SUMMARY:Screening: Hidden Figures
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Black History month\, we are screening Hidden Figures (PG) \nAs the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space\, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women\, known as “human computers”\, we follow these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history’s greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit\, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan\, Mary Jackson\, and Katherine Gobels Johnson crossed all gender\, race\, and professional lines while their\nbrilliance and desire to dream big\, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race\, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes. \n  \nBar & doors 6.30pm | Screening 7:00pm  \nStandard ticket £6 \nOther ticket options include concession\, ‘Pay what you can’\, ‘Pay it forward’\, and limited free tickets.
