Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Styles such as modern jazz and line dancing need no partner, and many partner classes rotate dancers so you can attend alone.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing that lets you move freely is ideal, along with footwear suited to the style. It is worth checking with the school in case a particular class calls for specific shoes.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices depend on the class length, style and format, so it is best to ask the school directly. Many offer a taster session for those trying a class for the first time.

Which dance is best for beginners?

That depends on what you enjoy; modern jazz suits those who like expressive movement, while social styles suit those who prefer rhythm and company. Trying a class is the best way to decide.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

Many adults begin with a style that matches their interests, whether that is jazz for its energy or a social dance for its sociable feel. The best choice is usually whichever one appeals to you most.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Gentle dancing can be a pleasant form of light exercise, but anyone with heart failure or another condition should check with their GP first. A doctor can advise on a level of activity that is safe.
