Learn to swing dance!

21 Feb 2022-28 Mar 2022

Love swing music? Looking for a new hobby? Looking for a great way to meet friendly people? Then join us for our fun dance class every Monday.

Classes each Monday, one suitable for beginners (new starters can come in Weeks 1 and 2 of each new course) and one for improver/intermediate dancers. Week 1 for this course is Monday 21st Feb 2022.

20:30 - doors open, warm up dancing to start fundamentals class. Suitable for beginners and those with more experience, this class has a 6 week structure that will teach you all of the main Balboa figures as well as ample technique and styling to get you social dancing as well as playing with moves and rhythms. Each 6 week course teaches different concepts, so improver dancers will continue to benefit from the classes.

21:20 - social dancing

21:40 - improver/intermediate class, suitable for those who have done 3-4 fundamentals courses so you have a good set of strong fundamentals from the beginner classes.

Improver dancers are strongly encouraged to attend the beginner fundamentals class (you pay the same so why not!) and this will also act as a great time to focus on the fundamentals of the techniques we will then build on in the second class.
