I’ve been dancing Modern Jive, Salsa & Tango for several years and decided it was time to get to grips with West Coast Swing & contacted Paul to arrange some private lessons so that I could get some good tuition on the basics before venturing onto the dance floor at a social event. I find I always learn so much with a private lesson and Paul is very patient and has a very relaxed teaching style, giving lots of opportunity to ask questions so I and highly recommend it. I think couples can also benefit greatly from some separate private lessons.— Elizabeth Douglas
A dance lesson tailored to suit my individual requirements. Paul inspires me to learn and develop. I was stuck at a plateau before at other classes and freestyles I was just repeating bad habits and not progressing. Then classes with Paul. have given me a new zest for dancing and I can't wait to put into practice correct techniques.— V H
Been going to salsa and jive lessons at Washingborough on Thursdays for just over a year. It’s a great session. Paul takes us through each of the steps steadily and is happy to repeat sections if we haven’t got the hang of it. We always have a good laugh and everyone is really welcoming.— Bex Harden
Paul is a great teacher. Knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and felt great afterwards. Thank you 🙏— Elif Bell
A beginners' class or short introductory lesson is the usual way in, with the hold and timing taught gradually. No experience is needed, and confidence builds over the first few weeks.
The waltz is a common first dance because of its clear three-count rhythm. A social foxtrot is another gentle starting point, based on natural walking steps.
Yes, many adults take up ballet for enjoyment, posture and fitness. Beginner adult ballet classes start with the fundamentals and progress at a comfortable pace.
There is no upper age limit for learning ballet as a hobby. Adults of any age can benefit, provided the class is aimed at beginners.
The grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, shuffle and pivot turn are common building blocks. Most routines combine these familiar moves into a repeating sequence.
Short routines built on grapevines and step-touches that repeat in each direction are the gentlest to begin with. Their repetition makes them quick to learn.
