Are you looking for something new to do this month?

 

Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady is giving you the chance to develop your creative writing skills in a new course led by acclaimed writer Anne McMaster or join up for a series of jiving lessons.

The Habit of Writing starts on September 8th from 7pm – 9pm for a four-week term, offering a warmly supportive environment packed with literary information, writing tips and inspiring exercises to help writers strengthen their writing practice. Creative sprints (short writing periods during each session) will allow writers to develop rough drafts in response to creative prompts, while tutor and group feedback will provide guidance for each writer as they build their writing confidence. All writing genres and writers of varying experience welcome.  The course costs £40 full price, or £36 concession.

‘Forget inspiration,’ Octavia Butler writes, ‘habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit is persistence in practice.’

Following the success of previous classes, we are delighted to welcome back Derry Dancing for another Learn to Jive dance course starting on Wednesday 14th September from 7pm-8pm for four weeks.

Suitable for complete beginners and improvers, you can expect a fun-to-learn, choreographed jive routine that will be easy to remember. All classes use a variety of music that everyone can enjoy. These classes are a brilliant way to meet people, build confidence and get you on the dance floor. Please wear comfortable clothes and appropriate footwear.  The course costs £40 full price, or £36 concession.
