If you have never been to a ballroom class, you would be forgiven if you thought you had to be of the more mature generation wear big "bouffant" hair and a big sequined dress to match, with the men in their "sunday best".
Thankfully that era past a long time ago.
Ballroom is now the new "wine bar" where people of all ages can meet and socialize in a relaxed environment and share their love of dancing.
Ballroom covers 5 main dance disciplines, waltz, quickstep, tango, foxtrot and Viennese waltz with social rhythm also known as social foxtrot which can be danced to the same music as foxtrot or quickstep.
At Anthony Clifford Studios there are classes that suit everyone, whether you wish to improve your technique for social activities, follow the amateur exam medal system or maybe aspire to be a teacher of ballroom dancing.
There are classes for children starting from 6 years old covering waltz, quickstep, tango and rhythm with the other harder dances being covered when they get a little older.
Please check our timetable to see what classes are available, but with all our children's classes please phone or email to check if there is space available as we do run a waiting list scheme to stop our classes from over crowding.
For the adults there are classes for beginners to learn the basics.Then there are two social evenings lasting for two hours which includes a 45 minute classes covering intermediate figures through to advanced variations. Those adults wishing to learn at there own pace or concentrate on the technique there are private lessons which can be booked with one of the five teachers at a time convenient to both.
Go to the adult classes section to find out what classes and courses are currently available. Unlike the children's classes you should be able to just come along to any of the classes advertised. If in doubt give us a call anyway.
