Learn Rumba and Cha Cha Cha.
This class is for people who want to learn Ballroom and Latin dancing or improve their existing steps. We teach you the basic dance steps so that you have the confidence and skill to get up and dance at any social event.
At Level 1, we introduce you to Rumba, Waltz, Quickstep and Foxtrot in blocks of 3 weeks.
For each style:
Week 1 will assume that you have never danced before and introduce you to the dance from the very beginning.
Week 2 will go over the basics again and add some more simple steps.
Week 3 will ensure you have a good basic style and add some fancy steps.
Tickets can be purchased in pairs as a Leader and a Follower. Also available as Solo tickets, if there is no one to partner with a refund can be issued.
This class is not for people who want to enter competitions or people with a lot of experience.

Are classes run as courses or drop in sessions?
Both. Most of our Academy classes are bookable in a half-termly block (tasters available on request), with the exception of Play Dance Move which is a drop-in class for ages 18 months to 4 years. Our Adult classes are largely drop in classes, with the exception of Aerial, which is booked as a course. See our classes page for more information www.deda.uk.com/classes. Advanced booking is strongly recommended for popular classes, as they often sell out quickly.

What shall I wear?
None of our classes require you to purchase any specialist clothing - the main thing is to be comfortable and wear clothing which you can move in. Commercial dance is high energy so does require trainers to be worn whilst Yoga and Pilates classes require bare feet. Contemporary is done in bare feet, whilst Ballet classes you can go with just socks or wear ballet shoes.
Please contact the Box Office for further information on individual class guidelines.
