Time: 18:30 - 19:30

Cost: £70

Day: Tuesday

Duration: 10 weeks

Tutor: Hazel Robertson

Course code: 25AU094

Learn to dance in a friendly, relaxed and sociable environment.  Practise some basic steps with your partner, develop these skills and get to know other learners with a similar interest.

The health benefits associated with this form of exercise are well known, so challenge your mind and body, take your first steps around the dance floor and feel that sense of achievement through your own observation, repetition and practise.

The course will introduce learners to the basic steps in Waltz, Social Foxtrot and Quickstep.   Further skills and routines in Cha Cha Cha, Tango, Rumba and Rock and Roll will follow.

Perhaps you are an absolute beginner, a Strictly fan, or maybe you are hoping to learn to dance for a wedding, special event or cruise. Perhaps you wish to try something new or a different form of exercise.  All are welcome.

Please enrol with a partner.
