First, starting 5th August, a six-week taster course designed for new dancers. Monday afternoons 1.45 – 3.45. The course is designed to ensure beginners will be able to join the normal Monday class when it starts on the 16th September.
The Wednesday evening class starts on 4th September for new dancers. As an introductory offer the first 10 weeks will be £30 for those who pay in advance.
