Ballroom Dance Taster

About this course

This introductory session offers a first look at two areas of Ballroom dancing: one Standard style, such as Foxtrot, Tango or Waltz, and a short Latin routine. Participants practise simple steps and explore dancing with others, including the connection between leading and following. Instruction is guided by a tutor, with opportunities to ask questions about continuing to a structured beginners’ course. The session is designed as a single introduction rather than an extended programme of routines.
