Already well known for its brasserie dining, casino and nightclub in the heart of the city, Glasgow’s Corinthian Club has teamed up with a professional dance tutor to open the floor to women looking to celebrate an evening in style.
Customers can select their own theme for the Girlie Dance Packages from a list that includes everything from ‘Glee’ and ‘Grease’ to burlesque. Costumes and props are provided where available for each theme, to allow for a truly authentic experience.
Julie McKim at The Corinthian Club said: “We’ve been inundated with requests from everyone from brides-to-be planning a hen night with a difference, to company directors looking for an original take on team-building exercises.
“The classes are a great way to spend an evening or start a memorable weekend. Many of the groups opt to complete the workshop then reward themselves with our cocktail master class, while others prefer to just dance and continue their evening in our nightclub to show off their new skills.”
Taking place in downstairs part of the club, each dance package lasts up to two hours and is led by a professional dancer from MairiMeDance. Participants get a cocktail and canapés on arrival and throughout their event; then learn full choreography to songs of their choice.
Mairi Mclellan, the director of MairiMeDance in Glasgow, said: “Dancing is increasingly popular thanks to both its fitness benefits and its prevalence in popular culture. Dance troops [sic] and choreography are more fashionable than ever so we’re kept very busy by enthusiastic groups at The Corinthian Club.
“Our groups are interested to learn everything from infamous moves they saw in ‘Bring it On’ to the full routine to Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’.
“The classes are designed with fun in mind and there really is something for everyone whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner. Many groups sign up to try something different and find themselves coming away with new skills and a rhythm they never knew they had!”
Classes cost from £30 per person to include a drink and canapés on arrival follow by a customised two hour dance tutorial. The packages can be booked in advance by visiting www.thecorthinthianclub.co.uk or by calling 0141 552 1101.
