Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Begin with a beginners' group class that teaches hold, timing and a few basic figures step by step. You then build up gradually and can add private lessons if you wish.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first dance because its slow three-count is easy to count. Some prefer to begin with a social foxtrot.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa's basic step is easy to grasp, while timing and partner work take a little more time. Most beginners are dancing simple patterns after a few classes.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, salsa classes assume no prior experience and start from scratch. You learn the footwork first before adding turns.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, adult ballet is designed for people starting later in life. You work at a sensible pace and gain flexibility and posture over time.

What age is too late to start ballet?

No age is too late to take up ballet for pleasure. Get in touch with the school to ask which adult class would suit you.
