Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes, a great deal of dance can be learned solo, and group classes usually rotate partners so nobody is left out. Styles such as line dancing need no partner at all.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move in and smooth-soled, flexible shoes are ideal to start. There is no need to invest in specialist dancewear straight away.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices vary with the type of class and whether it is group or private tuition. Contact the school for their current rates.

Which dance is best for beginners?

The best beginner dance depends on your taste and whether you have a partner. A taster class is the easiest way to find the style that suits you.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

Adults often begin with sociable, low-pressure styles such as ballroom, Latin or line dancing, which are easy to pick up gradually. The right choice comes down to the music and setting you most enjoy.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Gentle dancing can be a pleasant form of light exercise, but anyone with heart failure should speak to their doctor before starting. A medical professional can advise on what level of activity is safe for you.
