Ballroom Dancing Classes
A stunning skill and an exciting experience, Ballroom dancing classes have so much to offer the thought of joining may have flashed in your mind before. Taking the lead and stepping into Ballroom dancing is a great way to learn a new and beautiful skill with some classic inspiration. Not only will this keep you fit, flexible and healthy but gives you the opportunity to meet new people or have fun socialising with your friends – truly wonderful benefits.
The classes run weekly on Thursdays (during term time only) but Kylie Jones will begin teaching a new dance on the first Thursday of every month. They will then alternate between Ballroom and Latin American dance styles. If you haven’t tried dance classes before and would lie to join, this would be the best time to jump in and start!
Which dance class is best for you?
Beginner
Ideal for those who are completely new to ballroom dancing.
There are 8 beginner level dances to learn and most people find that they complete these in approximately a year. You then have the option to move to improver level sessions or some people prefer to remain in the beginner class and recap past dances.
Improver
Up to and including a Silver medal standard.
At improver level you can expect to cover slightly more challenging steps and sequences. Ballroom dances will cover a combination of steps allowing you to move around the floor more confidently and with a better awareness of space and direction. Latin dances at this level will contain faster moves and more complex turns.
Advanced
Up to and including Gold medal standard.
Ballroom dancing experience and an understanding of all basic moves is recommended for this level. At Gold medal standard, the choreography and the timing covered at this level is much more challenging. Partners’ steps can often be quite different requiring a stronger lead. In Latin dances, more demanding solo moves are covered.
Class Timetable
Beginners: 11:30-12:30
Improvers: 12:30-1:15
Practice for all: 1:15-1:45
