Today, the ten Ballroom dances that are the foundation of the social dance scene are the same ten standard dances used in the International Ballroom Competition and Championships. They are waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, tango and Viennese waltz in the modern section and the rumba, samba, cha-cha-cha, jive, salsa and paso-doble in the Latin American section.
At least 3 dances in each section will be taught each week, progressing into each dance routine throughout the summer term which lasts for 15 weeks
Course

The
comprehensive teaching courses are run by Angela Horton. The programme will take
beginners step by step through combinations necessary to dance complete figures
around the dance floor. Contains special practice exercises to loosen you up and
help you master the essential rhythms to take any dance floor with ease and
confidence. A pleasant evening in sociable company. The course is suitable for
couples and singles, although this does not always guarantee that singles will
always be partnered by participating dance course members.
