About this course

Perform the three dances with correct footwork and to the correct tempo of music.
Lead and follow with different learners on the course in the three dances.

No other costs involved but you should wear loose fitting clothes, no trainers, flip-flops or slingback shoes, and bring a drink.

The tutor will demonstrate the steps and will give verbal instructions. You will practise dancing the steps with a partner and to different styles of music.

There will be no work outside the class but you will be given handouts about the steps taught, so that you can practise the steps at home.
