What is the course about?

This next steps course provides you with an opportunity to further your ballroom dancing skills. Ideally you will have attended the beginners course, but if you have some basic knowledge, you are able to enrol.

Why should I choose the course?

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

Not only is ballroom dancing a fun and enjoyable way to stay active it 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!

What will I learn?

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.

What will the course lead on to?

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

What support is available?

We have a team of staff dedicated to providing learning support if required, as well as a Welfare 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.
