Ballroom Moves
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format for your dance classes?
We teach selected dances in each level for the whole month. Our Easy Class will introduce you to New Vogue & Sequence dancing, our core Class will provide the foundation for enjoying social dance nights, and our Advanced class is for the more experienced dancers to have a challenge.
Do I need a partner to attend the classes?
No, singles and couples are welcome to attend our classes. We teach the steps by separating the men and ladies and partner up in a circle once taught, changing partners regularly (optional).
Do I have to change partners, or can I stay with my partner during the class?
You don't have to change partners, we just recommend it as it can help by dancing with others in the class who may be more experienced. Plus, it's a great way to get to know everyone.
When can I join in to your classes?
Each month we change our class programme, so it is always good to join in on the first week of any month.
I haven't done much Ballroom, but I have done some Jive / Rock n Roll, can I still join in?
As long as you have covered a bit of basic Waltz and Quickstep, you should be fine to attend our classes. We suggest attending the Easy Class, and possibly the Core Class (depending on your level of understanding of the ballroom basics). By doing these two classes you will soon get a selection of dances under your belt. We save the Advanced class for the experienced sequence dancers.
What styles do you teach?
We specialise in the social scene of ballroom dancing, and we have a strong focus on popular New Vogue and Sequence dances. We also include freestyle Ballroom (Waltz, Quickstep) and freestyle Latin (Cha Cha, Rumba) in our programme . Our aim is to have you attending social nights and being able to enjoy the many different dances that can be enjoyed.
I would like to come to the social nights but I don't have a partner. If I come, will I get a dance?
We get lots of single ladies and single men that attend our social nights. A lot of the men (single or with partners) will often mix it up and get different ladies up to dance, plus, we try to ensure that everyone has some time on the dance floor. We recommend coming to our classes though, so that everyone can get to know you and become acquainted with you and the dances you know.
