How to progress
In the first year of your dancing you learn the mayor dances, build up a broader knowledge of the basic steps, develop muscle memory and confidence by attending and repeating the Monday Beginners Courses on level 1 and then level 2. A regular, preferably weekly dance schedule and any practice helps. After attending part A and B we recommend to continue with the Monday Beginner Courses level 2 and additionally to come as often as possible to the Wednesday Weekly Drop-In Classes > which includes a social / practice session to practice all dances. The teachers are happy to discuss when it's a good time for you to move up to the Improvers level where we focus for 4 weeks on one dance. Our London Ballroom Fever parties > are a great place to have fun, while you put into practice what you've learnt and mix with dancers of all levels.
