Group Classes
We have group classes for all levels of experience and ability. We are serious about dancing, but it is just dancing after all and so everything we do is with a sense of humour and in good spirit! Our classes are also designed to prepare you for our social dance nights, where you can test your new found skills, meet people and just enjoy dancing.
We have three levels of ability:
LEVEL 1: Our 8 week entry course - this gives you a taste of every style and suitable for anyone wanting to give partner dancing a whirl.
LEVEL 2: For beginners and also intermediate/improvers who have a good few months dancing under their belt and gaining confidence.
LEVEL 3: "Open" Classes aimed at confident social dancers who know the names of the basic steps and have a
basic understanding of the different rhythms and timings.

Open Ballroom
Level 3
Waltz | Tango | VW | Foxtrot | Quickstep
Our advanced ballroom class. Still aimed squarely at social dancers but with a bit more emphasis on technique, partnering skills and quality of movement. This class is for people with some experience under their belt who are acquainted with the names of basic figures and understand simple timings and dance rhythms. Don't be scared to try - this class is an unruly bunch always up for a laugh and love to banter with their instructors!
LONELY LATIN
Cha Cha | Samba | Rumba | Jive
Lonely Latin is a dynamic, energetic class with the only expectation being that you have a good time! Ballroom doesn't have to be limited to partner dancing, so if you love the latin rhythms and want the freedom to express yourself as an individual then this is the class! The choreography is easy to master and you will relish the opportunity to be free of partner constraint. Come along and boogie along with your instructor - hands free!
AMERICAN SMOOTH
Level 2 and above
Waltz | Tango | Foxtrot | Viennese Waltz
Relatively unknown in New Zealand, American Smooth is theatrical ballroom, old Hollywood, Gene Kelly Fred Astaire style. Emotionally engaging and a visual spectacle, the choreography is less restrictive, moving in and out of hold allowing great freedom of expression. American Smooth is fabulous! Its easier than standard ballroom, plus it's always nice to have relief from having to hold your arms up constantly.
