7pm: Bachata

A beginners class teaching basic footwork, movement and partner connection of this latin style of dance. No dance experience is required. We swap partners throughout the class, so you don’t need to bring a partner. It also helps you to learn faster and meet more people! If you’d prefer to stay with a friend throughout the class that’s fine too.

Bachata is a progressive learning style, which means each class builds on the skills taught previously. Entry to classes 3-5 will be limited to people who have attended in Weeks 1 and/or 2, or who learn Bachata at another studio. This allows our teachers moving on to new material each class without needing to repeat the basics.

8pm: Line Dance

Learn 5-6 fun, synchronised dances each night. We start fresh each week, so you can join us any time! Some of our favourite songs to dance to include…

• Shivers – Ed Sheeran
• A Bar Song (Tipsy) – Shaboozey
• S&M – Rhianna
• Holding Out For A Hero – Adam Lambert

During class our teachers will walk you through a sequence of movements step-by-step. Then we put on a song and give it a go. The sequence is repeated several times over the course of a song, so there’s plenty of time to get into the groove. No need to worry about getting it perfect, we all muck up from time to time!

7pm: Modern Jive

A class for beginner dancers that teaches three easy moves. We swap partners throughout the class, so you don’t need to bring a partner. It also helps you to learn faster and meet more people! If you’d prefer to stay with a friend throughout the class that’s fine too.

No experience is needed to join this class and you can start any week of the term. Modern Jive uses a basic walking step, no fancy footwork to learn. The moves you learn can be danced in the order taught that night, or mixed up to create a new dance every time.

8pm: MJ Extra

Modern Jive is a social partner dance and is often danced ‘freestyle’. This means there are no routines or rehearsals, you just listen to the music and make it up as you go! Check out this video to see what we mean.

If that sounds super scary you aren’t alone! Each week we’ll bring tips and ideas to help you survive the social dance floor. New dancers may find this class challenging. If you’d rather watch until you feel confident in your dancing, that’s okay.
