Ballroom and Latin classes will restart on Sunday January 9th at 5 pm

Our Sunday classes in ballroom and Latin for beginners, improvers and intermediate level social dancers will re-open from Sunday May 21st 2021. There will be no restrictions and singles and couples will be equally welcome. Entry will be £10 on the door, and those who are already at improver level or higher may stay on for supervised revision and practice to records from 8 pm to 10 pm, after the lessons have ended,
The absolute beginner class starts at 3.30pm, and improver and intermediate classes from 5 pm.
We have been holding classes in Colliers Wood since 2007, and have two qualified, kind and experienced teachers with assistants. One, Raymond Root, is a former world champion

Good to know we are reopening.

2020 has arrived, and we are now holding classes from 3.30pm to 10pm every Sunday.
Our lessons are £10 for the night (or £25 for four consecutive weeks) , which includes attending the social dance, if you want.
We encourage our students to attend the socials because we believe that practicing dancing in a social situation is just as important for improvement (and maybe more so) than doing lessons
Every Sunday we teach absolute beginners from 3.30pm, elementary level dancers from 5pm, and improvers in a separate room, also from 5pm, and there's a technical class in ballroom and Latin for the more experienced students from 8pm to 10pm (upstairs) plus social dancing for all levels downstairs from 8pm to 10.15pm.
We welcome students from other schools to attend our social dances only, which cost just £5. Or the classes plus social are £10 for the evening.
There is no need to bring a partner, as we change partners during the lessons. There are usually about 20% more women than men.
Women may also learn to lead, if they want to, and men to follow,
