Beginners' Class

These classes are aimed at total beginners and it doesn't matter when you join - we don't run courses that start at the beginning of each term, as some dance schools do. You will learn 3 or 4 moves in each class, and it will probably take you between 8 and 14 weeks to learn the beginners' moves and feel comfortable dancing them in freestyle sessions. Men tend to take slightly longer to learn the moves as they also have to learn to lead the dance!

Our emphasis is on teaching the basics and techniques of the moves, in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

Everyone makes mistakes so don't worry if you have never danced before or if you think you have 2 left feet!

Intermediates' Class

This class moves more quickly and you will be expected to know the beginners' moves and the basic techniques. There are hundreds of intermediate moves, but you will learn 4 or 5 moves in each class, and we repeat moves regularly to ensure you have a chance to remember them. In this class more time will be spent on teaching style, too, so you can look good when you are dancing!

Freestyle

Practising what you have been taught is the best way to progress, so make the most of the freestyle sessions. Once you have learnt a few basic moves, you can link them together in different ways, as you feel inspired by the music!

The full evening of lessons and freestyle sessions costs £4 per person.
