Learning to dance in a group class is a social and affordable way to get introduced to the world of social Ballroom / Latin dancing. A great start is to do one of my popular beginner Survival Dance Courses to get a feel for the easiest and most popular social dancing favourites. The classes are suitable for all adult ages.
The atmosphere and teaching style in this class is very relaxed. Lessons take place at the elegant Kelvin Grove club in Newlands, which offers added facilities like bars/restaurants. Parking is ample and safe.
Dances you will learn the include the Boogie, Foxtrot, Waltz, Salsa and Bachata. Each course is limited to 12 couples, so please book early.
*We also have Follow-on classes (Improvers to Advanced) for couples who wish to continue. Please email me to find out more about these classes.
"Great course, so much fun, and we felt we learnt a lot."

"Perfect introduction to social ballroom dancing. We both arrived with no clue and by the end of 7 weeks were able to get by at weddings and parties. John really seems to know his stuff and delivers the message in a clear and easy to understand way. Thanks John!"
– Martin and Julia
