Weekend in Worthing with ISTD

Posted on June 23, 2011

The ISTD’s Dancesport Faculties Summer Congress will be held at the Assembly Rooms in Worthing from July 16–18.

The weekend includes a Saturday evening dance with a world-class professional Latin show with Emanuele Soldi and Elisa Nasato (pictured), with live music from Ross Mitchell, His Band and Singers. Tickets for the Evening Dance cost £20, and can be bought on the door.

Aimed at professional dancers, those in training and members of other professional dance bodies, the Congress features lectures, demonstrations, workshops and performances in styles from Latin and ballroom to sequence and club dance. ISTD teachers and pupils are also invited to attend an afternoon of masterclasses in ballroom and Latin on Saturday. For ticket information, see www.istd.org.
