Any Gender Any Role

We're all about creating an inclusive dance community. When it comes to gender we're all too happy for dancers to try any role - Any Gender Any Role (AGAR)

The absence of gender based roles means we very much welcome members of LGBTTQIA+ community to join our classes on any night and enjoy the benefits of social partner dancing.

The Intro-mediate class makes Monday particularly appealing for AGAR.

We start with the basics followed by learning a few moves which you can immediately start to use in your social dancing.

You can start any week at any venue. Included in the evening is a 30 minute review session to ask questions and get one to one assistance.

This class is aimed at anyone who has attended more than 10 classes and is ideal for developing either lead or follow roles. We teach moves for easy social freestyle, one of which may be repeated from the previous week.

After the class is a review with the teacher to ask questions and get one to one assistance.

In parallel to the Intro-mediate class we run a workshop review on the stage. You must have attended the full workshop in order to attend the review.

Coming up:

• 19 Apr: Workshop Review
• 26 Apr: Workshop Review
• 3 May: Workshop Review
• 10 May: Workshop Review

It's party time as we turn the lights down, hit the dance floor to have some fun and put it all into practice. Social dancing is a great way to meet other people and get fit.

We encourage everyone to ask each other to dance, sometimes this can be a little daunting but there's no pecking order or bias - leads ask follows and follows ask leads. Check out our...
