~ Fiona 
  • What do we wear?
    Wear comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement of your arms and legs. On your feet, choose shoes with ankle support and smooth soles - so you can easily twist, pivot and turn. Wearing shoes with too much grip can jar your ankles, knees and hips.

  • What is the age range?
    The classes are designed for adults, so anyone 18 and up is welcome. There is a diverse age range from couples in their 20s to couples in their 70s.

~ Sarah from Bellbowrie (March 2018)
  • What dance styles can we learn?
    Couples can learn (a) Street Latin dance styles - Bachata, Bolero, Merengue and Salsa, and (b) Ballroom dance styles - American Rumba, American Tango and Cha Cha on 1​. To find out more about these dance styles, go to Dance Styles.

  • What's the difference between Street Latin and Ballroom Latin?
    ​​In essence, there are different genres of Latin dance - Street Latin, American Ballroom Latin and International Ballroom Latin. Street Latin and American Ballroom Latin focus more on social dancing, whilst International Ballroom Latin appears to be more competitive-based (ie DanceSport). You will notice that some dance styles will appear across all three genres; however, please note that the dance style will differ from one genre to another. ​

Any classes you miss will be forfeited. You may wish to consider private lessons. 
"[What I like is] the professionalism mixed in with fun, versatility and variety. Lots of laughs, a very free spirited environment. Great lessons."

    As per the Terms & Conditions, any class that you miss is forfeited. You can book a private lesson (at an additional cost) to catch up on what you missed. Please note that there are no refunds/credits/transfers for non-attendance.
