Welcome to the Dance School!
Dance is not a competition, it’s a passion
Ballroom and Latin dancing keeps your mind, body and sole fit and active
Learn new routines and improve technique at our next levels classes
Next Levels
Once you have mastered the basics in our Beginners Class, you may want to progress to the Improvers & Next Levels Classes. As all our classes are ongoing, not a set course timetable, so the decision when to move class is entirely yours.
We can help and give advice on this. Learning to dance is an individual skill. The more you attend and practise, the quicker you improve. When attending our improvers and Next Level Classes we will expand your knowledge of the technique in Ballroom and Latin.
We will also help you learn new figures to give you a wider variety of steps. Our Classes are fun and lively but carefully constructed from the vast experience and knowledge of your qualified teachers aimed at giving you confidence and enjoyment.
