HOW TO GET TO THE STUDIO
Collective Cork is a yoga studio inside the Triskel Arts Centre on Tobin Street.
The entrance is down a back alleyway. If the main door to Triskel is closed you can enter through the GREY side door ( in between the triskel entrance and the Paper Boys cafe)
Go to the top of the stairs ( follow signs for COLLECTIVE CORK)
Toilets are on the ground floor by reception and on the first floor
The yoga studio is on the 2nd floor
Parking in the city is free on a Sunday, but you will not be able to park too close to the studio, so try up by Barrack Street or by Popes Quay. Or your usual spots.
AND FINALLY
Blues partnered dancing is often danced in a close embrace so please make sure you are clean. That may be a bit obvious to say, but seriously there is nothing worse than dancing close with someone who ate mackeral for lunch or who has smelly hair or armpits. Take care of your fellow dancers my friends xxx
