Ballroom and Latin for Mature Dancers

Step into the elegance of ballroom in a supportive daytime class designed especially for mature dancers. These sessions offer a welcoming space where you can learn at a comfortable pace, build confidence, and enjoy the beauty of movement – whether you’re brand new or returning with a little experience.

You’ll explore a range of classic dances: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz, along with Latin favourites such as Rumba, Samba, Cha Cha, Jive and Paso Doble. Each routine is thoughtfully choreographed with the mature dancer in mind, with plenty of guidance on technique and flow.

Perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy social dance without heading out at night, this daytime class is a chance to move, connect, and experience the joy of ballroom in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
