What Will You Learn?
Over time, you’ll discover a variety of ballroom and Latin dances you’ll recognise from Strictly, including waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, tango, cha cha cha, rumba, jive, samba, paso doble and American smooth.
We also teach modern and classical sequence dancing, giving you more ways to enjoy dancing socially.
You won’t be expected to learn everything at once. We introduce steps and routines gradually, helping you build confidence and enjoy your progress.
Experienced Teaching, a Welcoming Atmosphere
Classes are taught by Peter Bailey, Principal of DanceTech, who has over 30 years’ teaching experience, holds IDTA fellowship qualifications and is an IDTA examiner.
Peter teaches dancers from their very first steps through to advanced levels and professional teaching qualifications. As a beginner, you’ll benefit from patient explanations and experienced guidance as you learn.
You don’t need to be interested in competitions or examinations. Our classes are a place to learn for pleasure, meet people and enjoy dancing.
Pay As You Go
Both beginners classes cost £9.50 per person, per class.
There are no course fees or long-term commitments—you simply pay for the classes you attend.
