Tuition is given in two principal disciplines: Ballroom and Latin American. The Ballroom section includes Slow Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Quickstep, Foxtrot and Tango. The Latin American dances include Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Rock and Roll, Swing, Paso Doble and Samba.
If you come with a partner, that is fine. Otherwise, single men and women attend and they partner each other in the classes.
Everyone is mixed in by changing partners.
To start with, a normal pair of smooth-soled shoes will be fine. But shoes with a rubber tread should be avoided as these will act like a brake when dancing.
Most people come to the class from work in their same office clothes, but with some changing into something looser, and this seems to work well in the class. But any clothing that is comfortable and does not restrict your movement will be fine. Ladies seem to be equally happy either in trousers or a looser skirt.
The classes are taught by professional dancers and experienced tutors.
Late starters are accepted.
Classes will be held in the Ashley Cooper Room at the Abbey Centre, 34 Great Smith Street, Westminster SW1P 3BU, conveniently located between St James's Park and Westminster tube stations.
All attendees must be over 18.
