Learn Ballroom Dancing with an Experienced Instructor

In our beginners classes, we start by teaching you the basic steps and figures of each dance as solo dancers. This approach allows you to absorb information at your own pace, which is less intense than a dance school. As you progress, we'll introduce you to the mechanics of dancing with a partner, including proper embrace and hold.

Our classes cover a variety of dances, including Standard/Ballroom, such as Waltz, Tango, Slow Foxtrot, Quickstep, and Viennese Waltz, and Latin-American, such as Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive. We also offer Cuban Salsa, Bachata, Lambada, Argentine Tango, and American Smooth dances, as well as 19th-century French and English dances, and the German Waltz. We are happy to include any dance that you'd like to learn in our upcoming courses. It takes six months to two years to progress up to the Improvers level with regular attendance.

In addition to learning the dance steps, you will also discover the history of dancing and origins of each dance, its character and mood, and proper postural alignment. This will help you to tell a story from dance to dance.

Our beginner ballroom dance classes are an excellent opportunity for you to build confidence, improve coordination, and make new friends while learning this skill. No prior dance experience is required, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are recommended. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are easy to  move in. We look forward to welcoming you to our dance academy and helping you embark on your ballroom dancing journey.

For those with more experience in ballroom dancing, our intermediate and advanced classes will help you refine your technique, expand your repertoire, and challenge yourself with new dance sequences. You'll explore the nuances of ballroom and Latin dancing, including the energetic rhythm of dances such as the Samba, the staccato movements of the Tango, and the smooth elegance of the Waltz.

Our experienced instructor will guide you through advanced dance positions, providing expert tuition and personalised feedback to help you improve your performance. You'll also have the opportunity to learn more about the various styles of ballroom dance, including American styles, English dance, and even historical dances from the 16th, 17th, and 19th centuries.
