floor.

Social Dancing - This is where the real learning happens as we unleash you to the social dance floor. Enjoy the music, dance or just hang out and watch others!
Blues (general level) - Blues dancing is very much about feel and connection with music, so there are less 'steps' to learn in this dance. Instead the dance is more about creating a connection with your partner and the music. In this class we will expect that you are familiar with the basic blues steps and are ready for more challenges with your blues dancing. For beginners blues classes please we will be running special courses to get you up to speed so you can join this class. Watch the newsletter.
Blues music is either slow and sexy or it can have a groove or funk feel. Whatever style of blues, we'll show you how to really relax and find your blues dancing feet. For a preview of blues dancing have a look here.
So come join us at blues night, as we dim the lights and slow things down a little...
What to bring:
All you need to bring are some confortable clothes, flat shoes and the want to have some fun and be sociable.!
There is no need to bring a parter as we rotate everyone during the class.
How we teach:
All classes run a drop-in basis. Beginner classes cover dancing from the basics, so you can come along any week. Beginner swing dance classes work on an 10 week rotation of different moves, start any time!
Once you've learned all the basic moves, you can progress to improver level. Easy as that...
