New dance classes starting this month!
Spring group classes are starting this month. Our most popular dance class is our Social Ballroom Dance Level 1, which is a great introduction to the basics of ballroom dance in the most popular dance styles for a well-rounded dancer. Several mini-courses are also on offer which are shorter in length and focus on just one or two dance styles. If you’ve missed the first week of classes, it’s not too late to join. Whatever was taught the first week will be reviewed in the second.
Registration is handled by the relevant recreation centre. For information about class content or if you need help deciding which class could be right for you, please send an e-mail to: liz@eandrballroomdance.com To see a full listing of all dance classes on offer, please click here.

WEDDING DANCE PREPARATION
The Wedding Reception traditionally includes a solo dance for the newly married couple. This aspect of your special day deserves as much attention to detail as the ceremony, attire and banquet, yet is often overlooked with the result that the newly married couple simply do the uninspiring “high school prom night hug & sway”. We do a great deal of wedding dance preparation and would be pleased to assist you. We can choreograph a beautiful routine to your chosen piece of music so that you will feel confident approaching the dance floor and your presentation will be polished, enjoyable and memorable. Plus, your new-found ballroom dance skills will lay the foundation for an activity that you can enjoy together for the rest of your lives. Send an e-mail to: liz@eandrballroomdance.com to get in touch and get started on your wedding dance preparation journey today!
BALLROOM DANCE PRACTICE SESSIONS
You will get so much more out of your dance classes if you are able to find a little time to practice in between to keep your dancing skills refresh and help you retain what you are working on in class. Plus they are a great opportunity to enjoy a social night out with others in the ballroom dance community and spend some time with your friends (or make new ones!). We offer the following practice session opportunities:
