A desire and enthusiasm to learn more advance combinations of Ballroom dancing - this course is aimed at improvers who are familiar with basic steps of Waltz, Fox-trot, Tango, Cha-Cha, Rumba and Jive. More advanced learners may also join.
This course will introduce you to the more advanced steps for Ballroom and Latin dances (Waltz, Fox-trot, Tango, Cha-Cha, Rumba and Jive) over the period of the course.
You will be taught by demonstration and verbal instruction. We encourage learners to work with dancers of different levels whenever possible. The tutor will both demonstrate to the class (often with a student) and also dance with different students during the session as part of the learning process.
To be eligible for this course you must be 19 or over on 31st August prior to the course start date.
This course is for everyone. There are no entry requirements, just enthusiasm and reasonable fitness levels. You can enrol as a couple or as an individual. All dancers will be asked to change partners in class.
You should wear any comfortable shoes that won't come off, with smooth soles - leather is best - so that you can spin easily. No flip flops, slip-ons or heavy boots. Dancing shoes with suede soles will improve your dancing, but you do not need these immediately.
Regular attendance will enable you to make maximum progress although it is also possible to catch up after missed sessions as each class will include an element of revision and consolidation before moving on to new steps/movements.
Observation during all classes and question and answer as appropriate.
Further Ballroom and/or Latin Dancing or other dance classes.
You should wear shoes with a smooth sole, avoid anything too heavy like boots, or too flimsy such as flip flops.
It is always good to try to practise between classes if possible as this helps learners progress more quickly.
