A few common questions
Not at all. Some students attend with a partner, while others come with a friend or on their own. We have class helpers who can partner when needed, and you’ll also spend time practising steps individually to build confidence and technique.
Just wear something comfortable. Please avoid wearing shoes with a grippy sole like trainers, as many dances require both partners to be able to slip the foot or pivot. Shoes with a smooth sole are ideal. Dance shoes with suede soles are available and are recommended if you dance regularly.
No! Classes are grouped by level, and the atmosphere is friendly and supportive. You are encouraged to learn at your own pace and you will receive one to one help during class from either the teacher or class helper if required.
There is no fixed course schedule as the dance we are learning is guided by the class. If you are joining us for the first time, you are welcome to start at any point. Our class helpers are on hand to support newcomers and help you pick up the steps.
Practice evenings
Our practice sessions, run by Jude & Katie, are designed for dancers who want more floor time to practise in a relaxed, friendly setting.
Please note that practice evenings are currently on hold while we arrange hall availability (either at Victoria Hall or elsewhere). Going forward, sessions will run periodically and dates will be announced on this website and via Carole's WhatsApp group for class participants.

Private tuition
Private one-to-one ballroom and Latin dance lessons and wedding dance tuition are available. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
