Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The best way is to join a beginners' class or book an introductory private lesson, both offered here, where the basic steps, hold and timing are taught from the ground up. From there you build steadily.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first ballroom dance thanks to its slow, three-beat timing, while the cha-cha is a lively entry into Latin. The instructors can recommend which to start with based on what you enjoy.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Typical line-dance moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. GMC's speciality is ballroom and Latin, but these basics carry over to social dancing generally.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A simple repeating four-wall dance built from step-touches and grapevines is the easiest introduction. For partnered dancing, the waltz plays a similar gentle role at this school.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Group ballroom and Latin classes usually rotate partners, and private lessons let you learn one to one, so you are welcome to come without a partner.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Smart-casual clothing you can move freely in and smooth-soled shoes that let you turn without gripping the floor work best. Bring water and avoid heavy trainers.
