BEGINNERS CLASSES
New Dancers are welcome to attend on a Tuesday or a Friday, or both.
We warmly welcome new members to our classes every week.
You do not need to have a partner to come along to our Beginners Classes.
Our Beginners Class covers the basics of nearly all the Latin and Ballroom dances (please see below).
The Class will be for 45 mins from 7.00pm - 7.45pm (Fridays) and 7.45pm - 8.30pm (Tuesdays),
followed by practice time.
The entry price will be £8.00 per person payable on the door by cash or card.
You will need to complete a simple registration form on your arrival to the venue.
We encourage all participants in our classes to change partners regularly, that way you learn much quicker and benefit by learning from other people and form a new friendship circle. If you would prefer to stay fixed with one partner, that is fine although please let your teacher know.
