The classes are designed for both beginners and improvers (Dancers who have been dancing for less than 1 year and also those that want to improve/hone their technique). Or, an opportunity to learn the alternative role to your norm or switch!

These will be progressive and ensure that everyone attending will benefit.

We will explore fundamental techniques, movement, flow, quality of dance, and variations that will enhance your individual level of dancing. 

No dance partner is required however a balance of leads and followers is needed so there may be a wait list until an opposite role is booked. 

The cost of this event will be £15 per person (£7.50 for concessions)

Tickets can only be pre-purchased to ensure that we are within the capacity of the hall. Book via the dance cloud link.

Dancers attending this 1 day workshop should then have all the skills ready for the improvers/intermediate workshop we’re planning for later in the year.
