All classes are pay as you go by default. You can either:

Book online in advance and pay by card, or

If you haven’t danced for a long time, we usually recommend starting in Absolute Beginners, then moving up if it feels too easy.

If you already have some experience, Beginners Plus is often a good starting point.
-
From there, dancers can progress into higher-level classes as appropriate.
If in doubt, we’re always happy to advise.

We do not currently run dedicated children’s classes.
Older children may attend adult classes on a case-by-case basis. As a guideline, we would not usually recommend classes for anyone under around 14 years old, though each situation is considered individually.
If you’re unsure, please contact us before attending.
Modern Sequence is not suitable for absolute beginners.
Dancers should already have a basic understanding of the core ballroom and Latin dances, as the class moves at a pace that assumes prior knowledge.
