Ballroom and Latin American Dance Intermediate - 13th April 2027

About this course

The class develops intermediate figures and technique across ballroom and Latin styles, including Quickstep and Rumba. The teacher demonstrates movements, explains them verbally and gives individual feedback as learners practise first independently and then with partners. Learners work as a group, changing leaders and followers through a prescribed partner rotation. Those who prefer to remain with one partner can be accommodated. Each term covers three styles, with additional learning resources provided where appropriate.

What you'll learn

• Perform intermediate figures from Quickstep, Rumba and other Latin styles both individually and with a partner.
