Strong emphasis is placed on continuity throughout the courses, with the first part
of each weekly session being spent on recapping the dances covered in the previous
week’s session. The courses are also paced in such a way so as to provide time for
pupils to ask questions or to request a recap on a particular step or move. All
participants in Dancz courses book their places ‘up-front’ ensuring that the ‘flow’
of each course is as smooth as possible avoiding the need to interrupt proceedings
in order to cater for new starters during the course.
The benefits of attending a Dancz class
Dancing is not only great fun and an excellent way to make new friends, it is also
a superb way to keep fit, it’s popularity having increased tremendously following
BBC television’s recent Strictly Come Dancing series. All-in-all Dancz courses not
only provide new and experienced dancers with excellent professional tuition, they
are also enjoyable social occasions and have provided great fun and pleasure to
participants in the past, as can be seen from the quotes and opinions provided by
existing pupils.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: I have never danced before. Does this matter?
A: Not at all. The Beginners Course is specifically structured for beginners and
will be an introduction to dancing.
Q2: Do I need a dance partner?
A: Even though it is not vital for danczers to attend the courses with a partner,
it is recommended. Couples attending the course will be allowed to remain as dance
partners during the course, and will not be part of the rotation system unless they
chose to be included. Please note that due to popularity of Dancz courses there
are only 5 places available for ladies attending on their own.

A: On the Beginners Course we cover five of the ballroom and Latin American dances.
Don’t be worried about forgetting what you have done in the previous week as we
always recap at the start of every session. Ballroom-Waltz, Quickstep, Tango. Latin
American- Cha Cha and Jive.
On the Improvers, Intermediate and Advanced course we concentrate on either two
or three dances so that we are able to go into the dances in more detail.
