We have four nights each week. Start any night, any week at any venue. Each night consists of:
- Beginner class
- Higher level class (except on Extended Freestyle nights)
- Practice time known as social dancing or freestyle
You'll be able to use what you learn after just one class. Each night has its own feel - try them all to see which ones suit you best.

FAQs
- Do I need a partner?
- No. But if you have one then great so come on your own or with a friend.
- We rotate partners during the class which allows people to progress much faster than they would if they stayed with the same partner where people end up compensating for each others mistakes.
- Do I have to join in the group classes?
- No. There are a number of reasons to stay together: date night, injury, social anxiety etc so we understand if you don't want to join in.
- Please let us know at the start of the night if you wish to stay with your own partner.
- If the thought of jumping straight into group classes is a bit scary then a couple of private lessson can help.
-
- Attending with your partner
- If your aim is to learn to dance together in a short space of time then we recommend joining in the rotation, then stay together after the class during the practice time - many happy couples have done this!
- If you do stay together then progress will be slower and at times frustrating as it's the blind leading the blind as it were, if you're okay with this then give it a go.
- When can I start?
- Start anytime and on any day of the week that we run classes. We don't run terms or courses, any week is a good week to start. We get new people starting each week.
- No need to book or phone ahead - just turn up.
- Check our home page before you come - occasional venue changes occur when a school needs the use of their hall.
- Anything I need to bring?
- A named water bottle is good. There is water at all the venues but no cups.
- Clothing you're comfortable in, you can dance in anything. You might get warm so wear something cool or have a layer you can take off.
- Comfortable shoes that aren't too grippy. Flat soled shoes are better than gym shoes - no stilettos and no bare feet.
- What if I struggle?
- We have dedicated helpers called taxi dancers who are here for the new dancers.
- There are no mistakes - only variations. Smile when it goes right 🙂 - laugh when it goes wrong! 😄
- How many people attend each night?
- Anywhere between 30 and 80 depending on the night and time of year, so there's quite a buzz to the classes.
- What age of people go along?
- We have dancers in their teens through to their seventies and beyond.
- Everyone is very friendly, check out each class night for specific information.
Class Levels and Types
Beginner Class
Gentle warm-up then we cover our basic hand hold and connection.
You'll learn 3 moves from our core beginners list.
Meet other beginner dancers and you'll be dancing within 40 minutes!
Beginner & Intro-mediate Review
Consolidate what you have learned and get one to one assistance from the taxi dancers.
Ask questions, get one to one help with any of the material we covered in the class.
We often expand the review to have an Intro-mediate Review for more experienced beginners where we might teach an extra move and add technique points.
Intermediate Class
Learn some more challenging moves and techniques!
We teach 2-3 moves and technique points. After the class there is a review with the teacher to ask questions and get one to one assistance.
Dancers need to complete a Skills Check with a teacher before moving up to intermediate to ensure dancers don't injure themselves or someone else.
Check each class night for more information.
Variations Class
Some night have a variations class instead of an intermediate class. Anyone who has attended more than 10 classes may attend without the need for a skills check.
We teach variations of beginner and easier intermediate moves often including aspects of styling and musicality.
Check each class night for more information.
Social Dancing
Social dancing or freestyle is when we turns the lights down and enjoy continuous music until the end of the night.
This is a great time to meet other dancers, practise moves and dance skills to wide variety of music to suit all tastes.
Coaching Session
Experienced dancers can get some direct one on one feedback to improve their dancing without booking a whole private lesson. We work as group, play with moves and style, but is more self directed learning with a teacher around to advise.
This is designed to be what you want it to be. Come along and get in on the action.
