Classes

We all have to start at the beginning, and feeling nervous is perfectly normal. Our classes aim to boost confidence and improve dancing ability together with developing an understanding of rhythm and technique in a friendly and supportive group environment.
Whether you learn with us at Accrington or Swinton, we want you to have the best learning and social dance experience, and whilst learning the best thing you can do is ‘keep dancing’. Our unique, structured ‘learn and practice’ programmes support you on your dancing journey. Available for both Beginners and Improvers our 10 week programmes are great value for money.
Our NEW 'class and social learning programmes' help you do just that. Not only because it gives the class a better structure and therefore helps the class to learn at a similar pace. It also helps you monitor your progress over a set period of time.
Details of our 10 week learning programmes for beginners and improvers can be found BELOW.
Please visit our Welcome Night page for information on our FREE taster sessions and FREE social dance admission when you ‘bring a friend’.

Love the variety and the way you break down the dances so we can learn them so easily

I can't believe I am dancing! I have always struggled with my balance and co-ordination, but now I have much more confidence. Thank you

We look forward to this class every week, we are so disappointed if we have to miss
