Frequently Asked Questions

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common building blocks in line dancing include the grapevine, the kick ball change, the shuffle, a heel or toe touch and a simple pivot turn. Most beginner dances string a handful of these together and repeat them, which is why line dancing is quick to pick up.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Simple four wall dances with a short, repeating sequence are the easiest to start with, as you learn one block of steps and it comes around again each time. An instructor will usually begin with one of these before adding turns.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Absolutely. Styles like line dancing, ballet and tap are all danced solo, so you need no partner at all, and children and adults join in on their own here regularly.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can stretch and move in is ideal, with the footwear that suits your style, such as soft shoes for ballet or supportive shoes for line dancing. When in doubt, ask the school what to bring.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Fees depend on the style, the length of the class and whether it is for a child or an adult. Contact the studio for current prices, as they can vary between disciplines.

Which dance is best for beginners?

It depends on what appeals to you, but line dancing and tap are both friendly starting points because they are sociable and do not need a partner. Sue can recommend a class based on your age and what you would enjoy most.
