We believe ballroom dancing has the power to transform people's lives: it is great exercise, lots of fun, builds self-confidence and physical coordination, and provides a comfortable environment in which to make new friends. Our advice to beginners is to take a combined approach to learning: start with the basics and learn some figures in a cost-effective group class (see below), then get a one-on-one tune-up with private lessons, and practice and enjoy what you have learned at one of our many dance parties.
"In life as in dance:
Grace glides on blistered feet."
