My children had no interest in any form of exercise or dance… until a year ago when they joined Rushby! They love doing cheer, getting fit with gymnastics and recently doing ballroom. Highly recommend, lovely staff and highly trained as well.— Helen Grounds

Yes. Many styles are danced solo, and partner dances are usually taught in class without you bringing anyone. Teachers often rotate partners so everybody takes part.
Comfortable clothing you can move in and footwear suited to the style are all you need at first. Bring water and avoid anything too restrictive.
Costs depend on the teacher, style and location, so it is best to check directly for current prices. Some classes are charged per session while others use term blocks or memberships.
It depends on what you enjoy; partner styles like ballroom suit some, while others prefer tap or a fitness-based class. A style you find fun is the one most likely to stick.
Many adults begin with whichever style appeals to them, from ballroom to tap or a Pilates-style class. Beginner-friendly options ease you in gradually so there is no rush.
Dancing can be a gentle way to stay active and support fitness, but anyone with a heart condition should speak to their GP before starting. A doctor can advise on a safe level of activity for you.
