What Dancers Say About A B C Ballroom

4.8/5 from 5 Google reviews.

Clare is a brilliant teacher, so patient, encouraging and professional. Whenever I go wrong, she doesn't just tell me what's wrong, but can always pinpoint exactly why, which is something that I hadn't experienced previously and makes it so much easier to learn.

She's also given me an understanding of why I should do certain things rather than just telling me to do them and that has made learning so much easier.

If you're thinking of taking up ballroom dance, then I would really highly recommend ABC Ballroom.— Peter

You will enjoy the very best of tuition from Clare and Louise in one of the best dance schools I've been to in the country— Simon S

Great and friendly place to learn to dance for all age groups. Very professional teachers. Great fun for kids .— Margaret Woodley

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Begin with a beginners class, where the hold and a few basic steps are broken down slowly. Regular attendance over a few weeks usually leaves you dancing a simple routine.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first dance for its clear three-beat count and gentle flow. A social foxtrot is another easy starting point, with walking steps that suit other dances.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is fairly quick to pick up once the rhythm clicks, though timing takes some practice. The basic step is simple, and turns follow before long.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, beginner salsa is made for people who have never danced. The steps are taught from scratch, so no experience is needed.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

The grapevine, the shuffle, the pivot turn, the kick-ball-change and the coaster step are among the common ones. Most dances repeat a few of these across the routine.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A short four-wall dance that repeats one simple sequence is the easiest to learn. Using only a handful of steps, it is quick to remember and enjoyable to dance.
