Never Danced Before?
Perfect.
You don't need to prepare before coming. Teaching you from zero is exactly what the course is designed to do.
“I have two left feet.”
That's completely fine. We start with timing, basic steps and simple movements before building anything more advanced.
“I don't have a partner.”
You don't need one. Most students come alone and we rotate partners during the class so everyone gets the opportunity to practise.
“I'm worried I'll feel awkward.”
Everyone starts somewhere. You'll be learning alongside other beginners in a friendly, relaxed and supportive environment.
