Simply the Best— Vicki Baines
The grapevine, kick-ball-change, pivot turn, shuffle and step-touch are five you will meet early on. Beginner dances combine them in different sequences.
Short, repetitive dances like the Electric Slide are the gentlest introduction. Their looping pattern makes them quick to learn.
Yes, many styles are danced solo, and group classes rotate partners so nobody misses out. Line dancing needs no partner whatsoever.
Comfortable clothes you can move in and soft, flexible shoes are ideal to start. There is no need for specialist dancewear at first.
Prices vary by class type and length, and by whether tuition is group or individual. Contact the academy for their current fees.
The best beginner dance depends on your taste, but sociable styles that need no partner, such as line dancing, are an easy start. A taster session will help you decide what suits you.
