Joining something new

[C.E.B 10]

Hi all,

 

I've been trawling through the internet to find myself a new hobby or join a group of something which I am already interested.

I love to sing, bellydance and act. I finished my first year on uni in May and have been looking since then yet after trying to contact people for piano lessons etc have come up with nothing. Therefore was wondering if anyone on hee could help me?

I would me extremley grateful for any help!!!!

thanks in advanced

There's got to be plenty of societies at uni that you'd be interested in surely? From what I remember they have one for pretty much everything under the sun

yes but not much for someone who is just beginning and also I'm at university at leeds but live in sheffield, so would prefer to do something closer to home

Have you had a search on here for amateur dramatics? I think there'll be quite a few of those type groups around, here's one example: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=461650&highlight=amateur+theatre

help would be much appreciated.

You didn't mention dance apart from the belly kind, but how about modern jive dancing? Cater for complete beginners (beginners' lessons at the start of every class evening), no partner necessary (you rotate around a lot, so you'll get to dance with pretty much everyone there), not too strict (unlike most dance styles, they're not hung up on exact footwork), good fun (you can dance to pretty much any track as long as it's not really fast) and exercise...

 

As a regular at Blitz I obviously recommend Wednesdays and Thursdays at Crookes Social Club, but Ceroc also have classes in Sheffield, on Tuesdays at the Davy Club on Prince of Wales Road.

 

For something a bit further from the norm, how about medieval re-enactment? Come to Knights In Battle any Wednesday night and say hello and give it a go. Definitely no experience required there - hardly anyone has used a sword before they turn up, and as for pollaxes...

Hype dance

 

They do classes, performance groups and Glee club.

 

Get a post on the forum for someone to recommend a piano teacher - there are loads in Sheffield!

Yea, i've posted that I want to learn piano lessons but got no reply
