Types of Classes

For complete beginners, we have several introductory classes: total beginners and medal classes for those who just want to have fun or take the official ISTD tests, and beginners team classes for those interested in dancing competitively with one of the biggest teams in the UK.
See the Beginners page for more information.

Technical workshops, silver to goldstar medal classes as well as private lessons are available for more advanced dancers who want to improve their technique or knowledge of the syllabus.

If you’ve competed before, you might be interested in joining our main DanceSport team, which is consistently ranked among the best 3 in the UK.
Please refer to the Team page if you would like to learn more.
