We have been coming to CDS for 5 years. The skills and confidence my children have gained from attending are priceless. All of the teachers are very highly skilled and totally dedicated to their pupils. It is a fantastic dance school, giving everyone opportunities to progress to reach their own goals. I would not send my children anywhere else. Highly recommended.— Katharine Ford

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Begin with a beginners' class where posture, the hold and a basic rhythm are introduced. You then gradually add figures and learn to move in time with a partner.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common starting point because its three-beat rhythm is easy to count. 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. These repeating elements are combined into each dance's set sequence.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short four-wall dances built from a few repeating steps are the easiest to learn. Their simple patterns let you pick them up quickly.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many styles taught here, such as ballet, tap and street, are danced individually. Partner work is only needed for certain partnered styles.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable, flexible clothing and shoes suited to the style work best. Since the school covers many genres, it helps to check the requirements for your chosen class.
