Thank you for choosing Blue Suede Shoes Dance School & welcome to all our newbies.

New season, Time for change!
Changing place, changing time, change in the future!
Brace yourself !  A lot can happen in the blink of an eye!!

We have been blessed this Autumn with the most beautiful warm weather and stunning sunsets. But we knew only too well that the change was coming. Just like the seasons change there will be changes at Blue Suede Shoes on the Central Coast & Newcastle.

Bi monthly News
Everyone is busy and the mailbox is constantly filling and we understand.  Our Newsletter will go bi monthly from June.  You may follow all updates on Facebook and visit our Website for your weekly gig guide and Events.  Our Lessons Page is updated monthly so be sure to check in.  Our usual update emails will be sent to keep you in check with what’s new.

It’s our 25th year of Service and I think back of the early days when I first began at Ashlar Golf Club in Blacktown. And just like that very first day I find myself with the same mixed emotions of excitement and uncertainty of having to let go and move on from some of our established locations. Please be sure to read on and check the changes to Toukley & Long Jetty below.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE Versus ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Blue Suede Shoes Dance School is covered by Dance Cover Aust Pty Ltd and with the new changes to our Insurance Policy we have opted to bring back the Waiver Clause. Please note as a student you are covered by any negligence on behalf of our staff at any of our venues. If you should injure yourself through your own negligence please note you are not covered. There is an additional Student Accident Insurance available for a small fee. If you would like any further information please contact me. 

RENTAL INCREASE EFFECTIVE 1ST JULY
As you can appreciate we do our best to keep our fees down and be as cost effective as possible. In the last 5 years we have been fortunate to absorb the increasing rental costs and overheads and kept fees frozen. As from 1st July our increases come into play and some of our venues will notice a fee increase.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
