SAIL Leidance

Events, News
Hey everyone, Do you hate road traffic in Leiden? Elderly ladies clogging up alleyways, pesky children in your way as you try to make it somewhere on time? We have a workaround. On the 30th of August Leidance will take to the canals for some quality sightseeing around our city. No road traffic, no pesky kids. We have room for 12 people (1 boat), or 24 (2 boats) if enough people sign up. Here's how it works: reserve a spot on the Leidance website (https://www.sdaleidance.nl/product/drijvende-borrel/) for €14,99 and you're set! We ask you to pay in advance so as to prevent no-showers on the day itself. Should the event be cancelled for whatever reason, your money will of course be refunded. If you're late we might be able to pick…

Workshop Ballroom

Events, News
After a very succesful workshop from Marcel in February, we had a second one! Where the last workshop focussed on the looks of ballroom, this one focussed on connection. While holding a small ball between their bodies, couples had to move through the room, without dropping the ball. Quite challenging, but it worked wonders for the connection! Attention was also given to watching the room. When the dance floor is crowded, you don't want to bump into other couples or step on other peoples feet. That requires quite some teamwork, since a leader can only see part of the room and the follower can see another part. By forcing us to dance in a very small space of the big room, Marcel challenged us to really look out for eachother.…

NTDS workshop

Events, News
In a couple of weeks it's time for NTDS (Nederlands Tournooi voor Dansende Studenten). With the help of Robin from DanceFit, who gave us his place for an afternoon, we could help prepare our team! We learned how to enter and leave the dance area and had some other essential tips on how the weekend would progress. Some of our members already have had years of NTDS experience, but for many of them this time will be their first so we hope that this workshop gave them an idea what to expect. Esther also introduced the contestants to Nalim, our pride and joy. We learnt a lot this afternoon, so thank you Esther and Reinier for giving a wonderful and fun workshop! We wish our team lots of luck and…
