Example Itinerary Weekend Break with Tuition
[two_thirds]Foxtrot Workshop Weekend
Wessex Hotel, Street.
Carole and I are looking forward to welcoming you to your holiday at the Wessex Hotel, Street.
For many, you will have holidayed with Eden Nights Dancebreaks before, and Carole and I want to express our sincere thanks for your continued support of our holiday choice.
For those of you joining us for the first time …
Welcome to Eden Nights Holidays
Carole and I hope you will enjoy your break and will join our family of dancers who travel the country to enjoy our holiday choice in both the West Country and beyond.
The Wessex Hotel, High Street, Street, Somerset, BA16 OEF, (Tel 01458 443383) is a modern hotel nestling in the heart of Somerset near to the Clarks Shopping Village. Breakfast and Dinner in the Olive Tree Restaurant, are served to your table. The hotel can accept your registrations from 4.00pm on Friday,
On arrival day room keys will be available from 4.00pm. However, for guests arriving earlier, we have made arrangements with the hotel that your registrations can be accepted from 2.00pm. You will, on registration, be asked to view the menu and select your Friday evening meal and choose your wine to ensure smooth delivery of meals in the restaurant, and for those of you (who like me!) are becoming more dependent on spectacles to read the written word, please have these with you, and if you are with a partner and are not prepared to choose for your partner (!) please could we ask you both to be present at reception on registration. Please also use this opportunity to check your table number for dinner and if arriving early, you may wish to enjoy a short stroll (five minutes?) and enjoy the facilities of the nearby town centre. Reception can store a limited amount of luggage, for those arriving early, and the hotel has a car park for 90 cars, so ample parking should be available
For those dancers taking tuition, but not staying on Sunday night, please remember to check out of your rooms before proceeding to your masterclass.
Directions: From the M5 turn off Junction 23 (Bridgwater) and head for the A39, direction Glastonbury and Wells. After about 12 miles you arrive in Street, turn off into the High Street, direction Town Centre and you will find the hotel at the end of High Street past Clarks Village.
Directions: From A303 turn off at Podimore onto the A372 signposted to Street and Glastonbury. Then after a mile or so, turn right on to the B3151 direction Street. After about 10 miles you arrive in Street and at the mini-roundabout by the pub the Street Inn turn left and the hotel is immediately on your left.
The Wessex hotel is presently undergoing refurbishment, (nearing completion), and has recently been awarded a 3 star rating. A rolling programme of refurbishment means that, for this holiday, all rooms will have been refurbished, but some still need furnishing and curtains updating. On our recent holidays our dancers rated their rooms clean and comfortable, and said the hotel offers excellent value for money. In the unlikely event that you have any concerns about any part of your holiday for which the hotel is responsible, please do seek out a senior member of staff to resolve any difficulties. Do not hesitate to speak to Carole or I if the matter should not be resolved to your satisfaction.
Because we now have more than 10,000 couples on our mailing list with some 3 – 500 more being added each year it is becoming more and more difficult for Carole and I to differentiate between recently new clients and new. If this is your first visit to Holidays4dancers Carole and I would be most grateful if you would come forward, at the Sherry Reception, and introduce yourselves as new guests.
Dancers, drinking water, as we all know, is a necessity of life, but if dancers ask for free jugs of water from the bar, this is a courtesy which ultimately leads to a much higher room tariff for future holidays and in the long term does not work in your favour. Therefore the owner of the hotel has ensured that large bottles of water, for those who prefer water during dancing, are at a very competitive price compared to other hotels, and we would ask you to say thank you to the hotel by purchasing water rather than asking for free jugs.
Your Itinerary is enclosed, (and for those taking tuition, we also enclose a Tuition Schedule) and all that remains is for Carole and I to wish you a safe journey to Street and we are sure you will enjoy this delightful hotel and we are all going to have a lovely dancing weekend.
Once again our sincere thanks for choosing Eden Nights for your holiday choice.
Happy Dancing!
PAUL EDEN

Gentlemen… if no DJ, minimum standard for admission to ballroom is White shirt and dickie bow
Please do dress for dinner to create the atmosphere for the evening.
At Eden Nights Dancebreaks we ask all our guests to be considerate of others both on the dance floor and, in particular, we ask that dancers do not assume that because they sat in one set of seats on the first night that those seats are theirs for the remainder of the break. We do not encourage people to leave shoes/bags on seats or tables … we would simply ask you if seating is somehow important to you? … Please arrive at the ballroom early after dinner.
Dancers, the ballroom is set up with a clear passage between the dance floor and the seating arrangements. This hotel has a beautiful dance floor and they are working hard to maintain it to its present high standard. The passageways are intended to enable everybody to get to the bar and return to their seats without spilling drinks on what will be a busy dance floor. Carole and I recognise that you want to sit in your individual groups, but we would ask you PLEASE do not bring seats further out than the line of the table to try to “squeeze in” extra seats. As we mentioned earlier, we would ask you, if the seating is important to you, please arrive early in the ballroom.
Ladies please note, the ballroom has a superb dance floor, with great acoustics.
However, hotel air conditioning is very effective, or, if external doors are opened for cool fresh air, although this makes for a wonderfully comfortable temperature on the dance floor, for ladies, when not actively participating in the dancing, a “wrap” may be appropriate.
TUITION SCHEDULE
DANCERS, PLEASE BRING WITH YOU VIDEO CAMARAS, I PADS, PHONES ETC SO YOU CAN VIDEO THE TIMING AND STEPS ON THE LAST SESSION.
TUITION CLASSES – SATURDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY MORNING.
If you have ticked competent skilled you are likely to have been placed in the early group and if you have ticked Social dancer, you will be in the second group. A full list of names for both sessions will be on the board in the ballroom
Early Group
Saturday Morning: 09.30am – 10.45.am (+ 20 minutes practice time)
Saturday Afternoon: 1.30pm – 2:45.pm (+ 20 minutes practice time)
Sunday Morning: 09.30am – 10.45.am (+ 20 minutes practice time)
Late Group
Saturday Morning: 11.10am – 12.25pm (+ 30 minutes practice time)
Saturday Afternoon: 3.10pm – 4.25pm (+ 30 minutes practice time)

* LUNCHTIME 30 MINUTES PRACTICE SESSIONS ARE OPEN TO BOTH GROUPS
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR MOBILE PHONE IS SWITCHED OFF DURING YOUR TUITION CLASSES.
Dancers, teaching over many hours, is incredibly exhausting. During the brief break between your masterclasses, your teachers need a moment to collect their thoughts and consider the next session, and try to grab a drink.
Their lunchtime is equally valuable to them, and we would ask you, as dancers, to understand and respect that, whilst they want to be available to you, these short periods after your sessions need to be their personal time. Whilst we understand that you only want to ask a brief question, or exchange a pleasantry, or even thank them, we would be grateful if you could do so during your class rather than immediately after your masterclasses.
In any event, we would respectfully request that you leave your session promptly to ensure the daily timetable runs on schedule and your courtesy towards your teachers, in allowing them their private time would be greatly appreciated
