Classes
We teach one class each week, Wednesday nights at the Sparkford Inn in Sparkford. Doors open at 7.30pm and classes start at 7.45 PM. Coming in early gives you a chance to change your shoes, catch up with friends or, just have a little practice before we start the beginner lesson.
Beginner Lesson: This usually consists of four easy to learn moves, put together in a way to remember the moves and help you dance to most types of music. We have a short break, where we play tunes to practice your moves. Each week we tend to drop two moves and replace with two new ones. We feel that people learn more by repetition rather than doing different moves each week.
Intermediate moves: these are also made up of three or four more challenging moves. Again the emphasis is about having fun whilst learning something new. We bring at least one move from the previous week to aid learning.
After the lesson: We play a variety of music till 10pm, this helps people to practise their moves and have a fun evening out. We have the most up-to-date music including chart hits, and a range of music covering all eras. Dancers sometimes request their favourite tracks, after all It’s your night out, we just want to make it special! Every week we provide a handout with the names of the moves from the night, this is so you can see what you’ve done, and use for future reference.
