Classes and social
Learn Latin and Ballroom dances with Roswitha and her team, meet others and have fun. No partner needed. Our dance evening is in a friendly, relaxed and inclusive atmosphere and open to all self-identified women. We play Ballroom and Latin music including Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Jive, Bachata, Waltz, Quickstep, Tango and more, with occasional Line dances or Sequence dances, which are rather easy to follow and for everyone to join in.

Please don't attend if you test positive and contact Bishopsgate Institute by email before the event on that case.
