Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The usual way in is a beginner group class covering posture, hold and a couple of foundational dances. A dedicated ballroom class is best, as Stopgap focuses on inclusive contemporary dance.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

Beginners often start with the waltz or a social foxtrot because the timing is steady and the steps are logical. Look for a ballroom-specific class to learn these.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa's core step is easy to learn, while timing and turns take practice. A specialist beginner salsa class is the place to start.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, non-dancers learn salsa regularly, usually alongside other beginners. Seek a dedicated salsa class for that style.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Typical moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Line dancing is a separate style, so a dedicated class suits it best.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short four-wall dances with repeating steps are the easiest to start. A line dancing teacher will pick beginner routines to ease you in.
