BUILD YOUR DANCING
ONE WEEK AT A TIME.
This course is designed for adults starting from scratch. You’ll learn the foundations in a relaxed, social environment and build skills you can actually use on a Latin dance floor.
Come by yourself, with a partner or with friends. In partnered classes we rotate regularly so everyone gets the opportunity to learn connection, leading and following with different people.
8 weeks. One structured progression.
YOUR 8 CLASS JOURNEY.
Each class builds on the previous week so you can develop the technique, vocabulary and confidence appropriate to this course level.
