    Robin Windsor Kristina Rihanoff

    A big thank you to @Donaheys for a lovely day and looking after us. You have a wonderful venue with a great dance floor. See you next year x
    Erin Boag

    Let me say how much we enjoyed the weekend at the Village Hotel and Dukinfield Town Hall with Anton & Erin. It was certainly a highlight of the year, my wife and I really enjoyed the nights dancing and the venue was really nice, good job. Thanks once again.
    Stewart and Jane

    Just got back to sunny Dorset from the most fantastic weekend dancing with Anton and Erin at Dukinfield Town Hall

    We just wanted to say the whole experience was a complete thrill, we enjoyed every second from the workshop in the afternoon ’till the last dance of the evening. Being taught dance steps by Anton and Erin was great fun and watching them dance together in the demonstration at such close quarters was amazing and really left us speechless for all the right reasons.

    As I said to you last night Paul, thank you very much to you and you’re family for organizing a brilliant weekend, I know it takes huge amounts of time and effort to get an event like this to run as smoothly as it did last night and i’m sure its not going to be our last with you.
    Steve and Sam

    Thank you so much! We had a fabulous time and can’t wait to join you at another one of your fantastic events.

    QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

    Firstly, tell me about Donahey’s?

    The Donahey’s family have been organising spectacular dance events and teaching children & adults across Manchester to dance for over 43 years. We pride ourselves on the quality of all our classes and events. Our hugely successful events with the stars of BBC Strictly Come Dancing are now in their 7th year – we thoroughly enjoy them and we go out of our way to ensure our customers do too.

    Donahey’s is recommended by, and affiliated to the world’s largest dance teacher’s organisation, the IDTA – rest assured Donahey’s have worked hard to establish a name you can trust along with an exceptional reputation in the Dancing world.

    Who teaches the dance workshops?

    The Strictly Come Dancing Stars – yes, that’s right our dance workshops will be taken by the stars of the weekend.

    What shall I wear?

    The daytime is casual, the evening Black Tie – look your best for some fab pictures with the stars!

    For dancing; on your feet something comfortable, dance shoes or flattish shoes preferably not trainers. No high heels, flip flops, steel heels or toe caps please.

    Will i get to meet the stars?

    Absolutely, you’ll get VIP backstage access after their show to personally meet the stars, grab photographs & autographs – wow!

    What level of ability will the workshops be?

    Workshops will be offered at Beginner or Intermediate level in Ballroom dancing.

    What kinds of age group attend?

    Our dance break is designed for enjoyment by everyone and regularly attracts a mix of all ages so you can be sure of a fun time – some families bring along 3 generations!

    Cameras

    There’s going to be lots of great photo & autograph opportunities during the evenings so make sure you don’t forget your camera!

    To reduce the time you are queuing and to increase your enjoyment of the remainder of the evening; following the showcases we are introducing a system whereby guests will be invited by table number for photo’s & autographs with the stars. Please hang fire until your table has been invited, your co-operation with this will be really appreciated and hopefully this should work to allow for the better enjoyment of the rest of the evenings for you.

    Will there be an official photographer in attendance?

    No, we prefer to allow you the freedom to take your own photo’s during the backstage meet ‘n’ greet time, we also have a great experienced Donahey’s team on-site that will take any photo’s for you together – we do prefer not to spend our dance breaks asking guests to pay more money for additional services etc

    Can children come along & take part?

    Yes, well-behaved, accompanied children are very welcome to take part and enjoy our event in full. However, children may not be left unaccompanied at workshops or evening dances whatsoever and parents or guardians must accept full responsibility for the supervision of their children at all times.

    Is this like a theatre show?

    Please don’t confuse this evening with a theatre show – it is not. This is a night of general dancing for people to enjoy starring Robin & Kristina’s fabulous showcase. You will benefit from seeing the stars perform for you mere feet away and you will also benefit from exclusive access to meet them backstage – something never available at large theatre/arena events. Seating is on the same level as the dance floor and is laid out in a ballroom style. There are always 50 more seats available than tickets sold, on your arrival you simply select the seats you most prefer – checkout our 360 tour of Ashton Town Hall here, laid out for one of our events. If you are expecting a full night’s dancing by Robin & Kristina this is not the ticket for you.

    Is our event in any way associated with the BBC?

    No.
