What Dancers Say About idodance

5/5 from 24 Google reviews.

Last night I enjoyed the I Do dance Viennese Waltz Refresher Class. This was a follow up to a 3 Hour Viennese Waltz Workshop on the 2nd October , both hosted and led by Bea & Lee Jackson. I cannot praise the level of instruction given to us, high enough. Bea & Lee approach the task of helping us learn, by breaking down the dance into easy to manage sections, like building blocks that eventually come together into form and shape, allowing you to practice and learn the flow of the dance. Through demonstration and personal encouragement you learn positioning, steps and timing. By the end of this— Janice Stringer

Well to be honest I really did not want to start ballroom dancing, but after 15 or so years of my wife dropping hints the size of small countries I decided to give in and accept the inevitable. The thought of the first lesson was terrifying! "here we go, I'm going to be completely humiliated" I said as we drove to the first lesson, needless to say this fell on deaf ears and no matter how slowly I walked across the car park I knew I was going to have to face the absolute embarrassment which lay ahead. How wrong can one be? It was brilliant! It was amazing! It was so much fun! It was a group of— Simon Ramsden

I can only confirm and endorse everything my wife Gerry has said in her review.
She pretty much ‘dragged’ me to the first lesson .. a reluctant participant.. but I was almost immediately hooked and the experience has pretty much changed our lives.
The patience, support and humour of Lee and Bea is a major plus point – add to that the amazing friendships we have made and the incredible amount we have learned and you have a group that warrants absolutely anyone joining .. even you reluctant gentlemen 😉
It’s all huge fun (especially Rock’n’roll🥰) AND it keeps you fit .. at the risk of upsetting — David B

My husband and I have been dancing with Idodance for three years now. What a great decision we made to learn to dance with Lee and Bea! They are so kind and patient with everyone and brilliant teachers as well! They make it all such fun and we have made many new friends within our dancing family, thanks to them. There are lots of opportunities to practise our dances, such as regular practice sessions, socials and tea dances.We also have the opportunity to go away on dancing weekends where we attend workshops and themed balls! I could go on! Just do it! You’ll be pleased you did!— Gerry Blythe

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Start with a beginners' class or workshop where the hold, posture and a simple rhythm are introduced. From there you gradually add figures and learn to move in time with a partner.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first dance thanks to its clear three-beat rhythm. Social foxtrot and quickstep often follow once you are comfortable moving around the floor.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Typical steps include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Line dances combine these repeating elements into set sequences.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short four-wall dances built from a few repeating steps are the easiest to pick up. They let you learn the pattern quickly before adding variations.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many people attend on their own, practising figures individually and rotating partners during a class. An instructor can also partner you while you learn.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing that lets you move freely, with smooth-soled shoes that allow you to turn, works best. Avoid heavily gripping trainers that can catch on the floor.
