You’ll surprise yourself this week – Quickstep Week
The basics of Quickstep are actually slower than people realise, often students struggle with the speed because they’re actually going too fast rather than too slow!
For beginners we keep it simple with no rotation during our basics, focusing more on travelling around the room with control.
Don’t forget we’re closed over the Easter weekend, with classes resuming from Tuesday.
Our Salsa course enters it’s second extension this week and we have a number of students joining the course at this point. If you’re confident in your basics, or attended our Glastonbury dance break, you’re welcome to join the extension as we’ll be focusing on some of the moves covered that weekend.
Plus our Beginner Rock & Roll course starts from Sunday 12th April too.
This week you’ll learn:
- Recapping the Jive, including a variety of Chicken Walk options in our Thursday night classes.
- Quickstep will be looking at ways to avoid collisions as you move around the floor.
- Our Waltz course takes a break this week for Easter
- The Salsa course enters its second extension, expect to see some of the figures we looked at during our Glastonbury dance break weekend.
The above though can be subject to change depending on how individual classes run.
Quickstep used to be known as the Foxtrot…what we now call Foxtrot is actually called Slow Foxtrot
Salsa Course Extension
The Salsa course enters its second extension this Wednesday.

PLUS: This Week on Insta
We had a wonderful Good Friday Afternoon Tea yesterday and coerced the kids into helping with the washing up whilst the dancing carried on in the main studio.
Before we knew it the kids were making sure they didn’t miss out on an opportunity to dance though!
