What To Expect...
Taking a dance class at AW School of Dance is an excellent way to exercise, with many mental and physical health benefits, which have been heavily researched and documented in recent months. Above all though, dance is fun and a great way to interact and meet with other like-minded people.
There is not much preparation needed. Just wear something comfortable. You can buy special shoes for the Ballroom side, although that is not compulsory. Trainers, however, might be best for Latin in Line – whatever you are going to be able to move in.
Full details are below, but please do get in touch should you have any specific queries.
Children's Classes
Saturday mornings just got Strictly!
Dance has long been considered of huge benefit to the development of children and Ballroom dancing in particular has many advantages. There are the obvious (health, fitness, musicality), but also those hidden factors. Posture improves, as does teamwork, self confidence and many social skills are developed through communication.
By mixing fun dances, and learning through games and play, the children learn all the Ballroom and Latin dances, working towards awards with the IDTA and competitions if they wish.
The children’s classes are all taught under the supervision of fully qualified teachers, who are all DBS checked and hold all the relevant first aid certificates and insurance. And all classes are on a pay as you go basis.
Adult's Classes
With Ballroom, Latin, Sequence and Latin in Line classes all on offer, we are sure to find the right one for you.
Classes are taught in a real Ballroom, which even has its own Glitterball. A friendly atmosphere prevails which mean that the classes are a perfect way to meet new people, and socialise while keeping fit.
And the good news is – you don’t need a partner. There are often people on hand to dance with you if you are on your own. The only thing you need to bring is your dancing feet – even if they are both left ones.
