beginners

​

​A Beginner is classed as "a present student who has neither received professional tuition (individually or in groups) in Latin American and/or Modern Ballroom, nor competed in any university or open circuit competitions in dancesport, prior to the IVDC of the previous academic year" (IVDA Constitution). 

​

Our Beginner classes are tailor-made for students who have never danced the style before. The classes progress gradually throughout the year, initially focussing on the routine, and then introducing performance and technique as dancers become confident in the steps.

​

novice

​

A Novice is classed as someone who has previously danced Latin and Ballroom for a moderate amount of time, or potentially another dance style for a significant period of time from which they feel comfortable and able to start at a non-beginner level.

​

Our Novice classes are focused on providing a fun but structured teaching environment to ensure dancer progression. The classes concentrate more heavily on technique than beginner lessons and will introduce dancers to competitive dances outside the traditional four allowing them to develop their understanding and performance skills.

​

intermediate / advanced

​

An Intermediate/Advanced dancer is classed as someone who has danced Latin and Ballroom for a considerable period of time and maintains a high standard of technique.

​

Our Intermediate/Advanced classes are focused on pushing the outstanding standard of technique and showmanship that constitutes a top-level dancer. The classes aim to drive creativity into our dancers so they are immediately recognisable and able to seamlessly dance more complicated steps. These classes are also perfect for top-level novices wishing to progress to the next level.
