NEW BEGINNERS CLASS
Starting Friday 14th March 2025 at 7pm
We warmly welcome new members to our classes.
You do not need to have a partner to come along to our Beginners Classes.
​
Our Beginners Class covers the basics of nearly all the Latin and Ballroom dances (please see below).
The Class will be for 45 mins from 7.00pm - 7.45pm.
Then we have a break for one hour where you can have a rest, a cup of tea, pop to the pub or watch the next class.
From 8.45pm there will be social dancing until 10.00pm.
The entry price will be £8.00 per person payable on the door by cash or card.​
You will need to complete a simple registration form on your arrival to the venue.
​​
We encourage all participants in our classes to change partners regularly, that way you learn much quicker and benefit by learning from other people and form a new friendship circle. If you would prefer to stay fixed with one partner, that is fine although please let your teacher know.
