Our Ballroom classes cover the 3 styles of ballroom dancing – Modern or Standard eg waltz, slow foxtrot, tango; Latin American eg rumba, jive, samba, cha cha cha; and New Vogue Sequence Dancing eg Merrilyn, La Bomba, Gypsy Tap. The New Vogue dances are set sequence dances to the rhythms of the waltz, quickstep, foxtrot etc.
Classes are on-going throughout the year.
Our Beginner Ballroom classes are held on a Monday and a Tuesday evening in 8 week blocks. We cover 3 dances in each 8 week block. Sample of dances covered: Slow Rhythm, Cha Cha Cha, Quickstep, Evening 3 Step, Samba, Waltz, Georgella Blues, Jive, Slow Foxtrot.
For those who have completed our beginner blocks or who already know the basics for Standard and Latin as well as the easier New Vogue dances, we have a class on a Thursday evening which covers more advanced dances and moves. This class also runs in 8 week blocks and will cover, depending on difficulty, up to 3 dances.

Our Rock ‘n Roll classes for Beginners and Intermediate dancers are held on Wednesday evenings, in 5 week blocks.
What to wear and bring to class?
- Clothing – Comfortable smart casual clothing
- Footwear – proper ballroom dance shoes are required for all students in all classes. We ask that you have your shoes by your 4th week with us. Beginners, until you have your ballroom shoes, please wear firm fitting, smooth soled shoes, preferably court shoes for the ladies, no thongs, slip-ons, slides or scuff styles. Joggers, fine stiletto heels and work boots are equally unsuitable. Your teacher will discuss where to purchase your ballroom shoes.
- You might like to bring a water bottle and hand towel along. We do have these items for sale, along with Chill Towels.
Where to go to practice? We hold a Social Practice Night every month on a Saturday evening from February to November. See our Social Practice Night page for information.
