Book NowThis course is an engaging and accessible introduction to Standard European Ballroom dancing for adults of all levels.
Explore the elegant world of Standard Ballroom dance through foundational steps and rhythms from popular styles such as the Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and Quickstep. Each session introduces key techniques and movements, gradually building toward short routines that bring these beautiful dances to life.
Classes are designed to improve coordination, posture, rhythm, and musicality, with special emphasis on classic ballroom frame, alignment, and graceful connection between partners. Working closely with your partner, you will gain confidence on the dance floor while moving to the timeless melodies and sophisticated flow of European ballroom music.
Expect a motivating and supportive environment where skills grow steadily, stamina improves, and a full-body workout is built into the experience — all while discovering the joy of dance.
By the end of the course, couples will be able to perform basic Standard Ballroom dance sequences together with clarity, confidence, and style.
Please note:

- Select at booking either the role of Follower or Leader.

Tap shoes are not required; just bring comfortable, flexible footwear that allows you to move easily and pivot. Dance shoes or ballroom-style shoes are ideal, but not essential.
Most importantly, come ready to dance!
