Newbury College - Ballroom and Latin American Dance

Ballroom and Latin American Dance - Beginners

Overview

Learn some well-known dances, such as the Social Rhythm, Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Jive, Samba and Salsa. Learners will need to bring the following to the first session; their completed Physical Readiness Questionnaire, a bottle of water, comfortable shoes and loose, comfortable clothing. Please enrol early for this course to avoid disappointment.

Learners will learn to dance to a basic standard some of the well-known dances, eg Social Rhythm, Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Jive, Samba and Salsa. The course is for beginners with no experience.

It is hoped that by the end of the course, learners will be familiar, to a social standard, with a selection or all of the above-mentioned dances in a sociable, relaxed and happy atmosphere. Learners should note that this is a proposed programme only, and although every effort will be made to stay within its boundaries, it is very much a flexible class and so the work may be altered to suit the needs of learners. Plenty of time will be allowed for revision and practice.
