16 Tuesday January 24 2017 BECOME A MEMBER SOUTHERN VIEW Play House of Cards is a day-time bridge club situated in Merivale. Our philosophy is to provide a friendly, family-type environment for bridge players. Bridge is not only a wonderful, stimulating game, it is also splendidly social. We have had much pleasure in seeing many new friendships flourish over the years. House of Cards is especially renowned for its teaching and we have taught literally thousands of beginners as well as improvers, in Christchurch and around New Zealand. We have run several national teachers’ conferences and have been instrumental in creating a national standard for bridge teachers. We have also written a whole series of bridge books for new and improving players which are widely used in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. We are a friendly, enthusiastic team who welcome new players. We have four sessions dedicated especially for the novice player, so you needn’t feel nervous! We will also introduce you to SkyBridgeClub. This is an online club catering for the improving player, where you can practice online during your course. It’s a great way to learn. Come in and see us. We’d love to meet you.

It is based around movement of the torso rather than footwork. Although travelling and weight transitions are required for stage work, as a beginner you will learn mainly to move your hips and shoulders (“belly” dance is a misnomer). Then you can start to put movements together into phrases, add “layering” (two or more things at once), and sharpen your ability to isolate.

Scientists theorize that dancing has a triple benefit for the brain, it increases blood flow, reduces stress and keeps that vital grey matter in shape. Dancing also combines physical, mental and social activity and is a whole lot of fun too. Laughing is good for you because it increases our ability to think positively and we even cater for people who think they have two left feet. You can have all these benefits plus meeting new friends by joining “Cathedral City Line Dancers”.
