We are at the pub most Tuesday evenings. Let us know if you are interested in joining us. Send us an email. All welcome.
Come along if you want some pointers in anyway. Maybe help with style, technique, etc. We can point out lots of things you are doing well and see if there is an area which we can make better. Some dance a lot better with some guidance on tension, turns or other small issues. (No charge for one evening, £10pp/night for a block of lessons)
Caz and Gina have helped me film all dance moves under the sun. Having noticed people dance in Australia, Thailand and untold other places, the moves bank may be of interest to people worldwide. I have heard that there are 500 dance moves. If that is the case we are a long way from finishing, but have close to a hundred videod so far. Moves page Or Moves in a list
You do not need to race about all night. Far from it. A dance is about connection. We can show you how to put your personality, your individuality into your dancing. Dance fast to faster tracks, slow and expressive to the slower ones.
We can show you a range of dips, drops, and leans that are safe as houses that end a dance nicely.
Learn to dance to the beat, to the piano/guitar, or to the lyrics. A high-quality sound system helps in this regard as does the nature of the tracks used for this. The songs have clear time and a distinct beat to make it easier to perfect. Plus, parts that change inviting you to put in a flourish.
Lots of leaders find themselves in a dance catch-22. They know lots of moves but not quite enough to go and ask a lady for a dance. We can help with this by taking a cue from Salsa.
We will show you the secrets to this. As you get more comfortable with the moves you can explore ways to flourish them.
Get a rare chance to have a go at leading a man. Howard can follow quite well.

For those considering taking up dancing, I would like to point out how jolly useful it is. I have danced with some 5000 women in ten countries. From Hawaii, Norway to the back streets of China. It is surprising how many holidays I have been on where you can impress and join in with a dance or two. You will look good at a wedding. You meet lots of great people. Dance is a language of its own. At a Springsteen and the E-Street band concert in Wembley Stadium I walked to the front and saw a lady cavorting. I held out my hand and we had a great dance. We didn’t say a word to one another. There is no need. At other concerts I danced with many fine ladies and then got to know them through it.
