What you will learn

In each class you will work on one standard Ballroom and one Latin American dance with lots of time to practice what you have learned.You will learn how to recognize dances by listening to the rhythm of the music. The basic patterns and sequences will get you started so that you will feel confident to use them in a social situation. When you have mastered the material covered in the Beginner’s classes, you will be ready to progress to the Intermediate level.

It is an excellent idea to attend classes with a dance partner so that you can practice your steps in between lessons, but it is not essential in some classes. The classes are not large, so that you are assured of lots of attention and support from your instructor.

The DanceSport styles that you will learn include: Modern Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba and Jive.  In addition to these dances you will learn Slow Rhythm (Social Foxtrot) which is a slower dance developed from the Quickstep and Social Tango, a dance performed in sequences to get you moving to this dramatic music.

New Vogue dances are also taught. These dances move in an anticlockwise direction around the dance floor, are easy to learn and lots of fun especially when performed with a crowd of people on one of the Social nights.
