Our new courses starting 3 November will focus on building the skills for Social Dance. These 6-week courses will give you the skills to enjoy social dance events through
· Mastering your own movement
· Developing your dance vocabulary
· Introducing you to leading and following skills
Wednesday classes will be at St Aidan's Church Hall DH1 5BL
Tuesday classes will be on Zoom (see separate event booking details)
The most effective ways to hone your partner dancing skills are:
Mastering your own movement
If you’re not in control of your own movement and coordination, this affects your dance partner.
Developing your dance vocabulary
This means learning a few moves BEFORE you partner up. That way, you’ll have the confidence to dance with other dancers when social dancing is back again.
Developing your leading and following skills
If you have a partner, you can dance with them "in hold", as we all did before the pandemic. If you don’t have a partner, this can be done with ‘shadow dancing,’ where no physical contact is needed.
Do you want to be confident with all of this and more?
