All new members are very welcome to join in the fun and to explore new dance styles in a friendly environment. We have already learned a Bollywood routine and are next delving into the world of Jazz dance. No experience is necessary as you will be guided through the steps.

World dances we could learn include:

Bollywood, Riverdance,  Flamenco, burlesque, Hoohie Coohie, Tribal Fusion belly dance, Tahtian, jazz/blues, middle eastern dance [this latter can include dancing with props e.g. stick, scarf, veil, tambourine, swords, finger symbols, fans, veil fans

During the weekly one hour sessions will explore more than one style of dance but will concentrate on one particular dance rather than jump from style to style. No previous  knowledge is required of the dance's being taught and no dance partner is needed.
