Thank Friday It's Freestyle (TFIF) - 7th February 2025
Co-DJ with Morris this month is Bill Henderson! 😊
NB: Please see notes at end ref video competition and 2 for 1 offer.
TFIF is on the First Friday of every month, and designed to be different! We’ve just celebrated our 15th anniversary! (thank you to the 300+ dancers who supported us that night....wow! What a night! :-) !!). We attract dancers in the Modern Jive/Modern Blues/'Expressive' styles (and increasingly WCS and Alt Tango too), who enjoy the challenge of dancing to a range of musical genres (rock, lyrical, classical, acoustic, film themes, a bit of Hip-hop, etc), often complex tracks with no regular 'thump thump' beat. The majority of tracks during an evening are discovered and played fresh each month, so dancers never get 'same old same old'. That's part of the attraction.
The people who enjoy TFIF (and return month after month, often travelling long distances!), love the different approach to the music, and its amazing variety. They engage their musicality rather than moves in response, and enter into great connection with their dance partners. The experience can be quite emotional, and can lead to those 'Wow!' moments, when you realise you have danced to a track you might never have imagined you could dance to.
The venue is HUGE (arguably one of the biggest single room dance areas in the UK), with great, smooth floors. We use professional quality sub-woofers and speakers which bring out the best of all the layers in the music, and high quality, subdued mood lighting (no rapid flashing).
Address: The Oxford Academy, (Beecroft Theatre) Sandy Lane West, Littlemore, Oxford OX4 6JZ.
Lots of on-site, free parking.
Mix of snacks from about 10.30 pm
Free water available all night, but please bring your own water bottle to save on wastage of plastic cups. You can also bring your own drinks.
Entrance Fee
£13 up to 9.30 pm, then £15 after 9.30 pm. (We try to keep the price down but have to cover our costs coming from the Lake District each month).
VIDEO COMPETITION
We asked at the 15th anniversary night for anyone who was interested to create a short video that we could use for promotional purposes. Between 15 seconds and 1 minute. Please send to me via Dropbox or equivalent. If we decide to use it, you get free entry for the rest of 2025! The first one selected has been used for the event publicity this month! Thank you Linda Wright! :-)
2 FOR 1 VOUCHERS
We gave out 2 for 1 vouchers at the 15th anniversary, so if you have a voucher and bring along somebody who hasn't been to TFIF before, or who hasn't been for a while, you both get in for £15. Vouchers can only be used once, at any TFIF during 2025.
2025 DATES
TFIF is on every first Friday of the month, without exception.
