Next Steps to Ballroom Dancing

Next Steps to Ballroom Dancing offers you the perfect opportunity to continue developing your ballroom dancing skills. Ideally, you will have completed our Introduction to Ballroom Dancing course, but anyone with a basic understanding of ballroom dance is welcome to enrol. Whether you're looking to improve your technique, gain confidence on the dance floor, or simply enjoy dancing at a higher level, this part-time adult course will support you on your journey.

Whether you have been inspired by the TV dance show ’Strictly Come Dancing’, you want to try something new, or perhaps you want to learn to dance for a special occasion - this is the course for you.

Not only is ballroom dancing a fun and enjoyable way to stay active, it also has many social, physical, and mental health benefits too. Dancing is a great way to:

• Increase cardiovascular fitness, stamina, and endurance
• Improve your strength, coordination, and flexibility
• Improve your mental well-being and forget about daily worries
• Meet new people and make new friends.

Most importantly of all, it is great fun!

During this next steps course, you will build on the experience gained in the beginners course and we will introduce you to more dances including the quickstep, jive and bossa nova.  Along with the individual steps we will also cover some short dance choreographies at a comfortable pace for all students.

You will be informally assessed by the tutor, and you will also self-assess your weekly progress using an individual learning plan.

After completing this course, you can progress onto a more advanced course where you will learn more challenging steps and choreography.

We have a team of staff dedicated to providing learning support if required, as well as a Wellbeing Team that is on hand to offer guidance, support, and help when needed. Additionally, eligible students can access a wide range of finance and funding support to help them during their time at college.
