  • Increased understanding of posture and awareness in the space of which you are dancing

  • Increasing confidence in performing partnered dance steps

  • The major ballroom dances - Foxtrot, Waltz, Quickstep and Tango.

  • Coordination and footwork including travelling steps, essential counts and rhythms

  • Improving balance, control and posture

  • Full turns in the Waltz and Quickstep

  • You'll receive friendly feedback throughout

Something to Think About

There are few additional costs involved in any dance class; you'll need to purchase some appropriate footwear and clothing.

Footwear for Ballroom dance needs both grip as well as smooth soles for gliding and moving easily around the dance floor.

Specialised stockists such as Gamba Freed and Dancia (with have outlets in and around London) can provide appropriate footwear.

Otherwise, feel free to wear your comfiest pair of trainers.

You don't have to bring a partner to join the course.

Ballroom Dance Class Progression

We recommend that you take Improvers 1 Standard and Latin Ballroom Dance at least twice, or until you feel confident enough to move on.
