Our social evenings are two hour sessions which take place on Mondays and Tuesdays. The format for both evenings is the same with a lesson at either improver or medallist standard, during the first hour. Then during the second hour music is played covering all the Ballroom and Latin dances for you to practice to or you can have refreshments and just catch up with friends.
There are usually two classes running during the lesson, one which is aimed at the more experienced dancer in which we teach figures of silver and above including variations. The other for the beginner/improvers with a little knowledge of all the dances (enough to get around the floor).
The whole evening is £8.50 for the two hours or you can come just for the lesson or practice for £6.50 per hour.

Call to find out when salsa will be next covered.
We will take you
through the basics of Salsa up to some simple variations. You don't need
a partner to come along, but if you can persuade your man, ladies,
we guarantee
they will have a good time. It is a partner dance and we will partner people

at the class or you may get to dance with one of the teachers.
We are asked "what do we wear?".
Anything comfortable that you can move in. All we ask is that the ladies
wear a strapped shoe with a slight heel and the gentlemen wear normal shoes.
Trainers are not suitable for Salsa as they restrict your movement and can
be a bit sticky on the maple floor.
Come along and find out what are the three S's of Salsa.

Have you watched "Strictly Come Dancing" and felt inspired to dance ?
This class is specifically aimed at beginners or anyone wanting to refresh their basic figures in Ballroom and Latin American dancing. You are not tied to a specific number of weeks to learn the basics. It is a progressive class which adds figures to each of the dances at an easy pace, waltz, quickstep, tango, social foxtrot, cha-cha, rumba, jive, salsa and others. When you and the teacher feel happy that you have the basic knowledge and want to move on, then you could try either of our Social Evenings which will add further figures to your repertoire. You don't need a partner to come along but if you can persuade your man ladies, we guarantee they will have a good time too. Latin and Ballroom dances are couple dances so we will partner people up for the class or you may get to dance with one of the teachers.
You can join at any time but best if it coincides with the start of a new dance, please call to check.
