About Bath Old Time Dancers

The atmosphere is companionable and unhurried, the sort of setting where people come as much for the company as the dancing. It particularly suits anyone drawn to the elegance and set patterns of old-time and sequence styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The simplest route is to join a beginners' class and learn one or two dances from scratch. From there you build a small repertoire and add styles as your confidence grows.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular starting point because its steady three-beat rhythm is easy to count. The social foxtrot or a basic quickstep are also gentle first dances.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes; many sequence and old-time sessions accommodate people who arrive alone. It is worth asking beforehand how partnering is handled on the night.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing and smooth-soled shoes that allow you to turn are all you need. Leave stiff trainers at home, as they tend to grip the floor.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices vary between groups and depend on whether you pay per session or in a block. It is best to contact the organisers directly for their current rates.

Which dance is best for beginners?

Old-time and sequence dances suit beginners well because everyone follows the same set pattern. The waltz is often the first one people learn.
