Over 50s Ballroom & Latin Dance Classes

Friendly daytime dance classes in Burnham

Our Over 50s Ballroom & Latin class is a relaxed, social daytime class for adults who enjoy dancing, learning and keeping active.

The class is mixed ability, so it is ideal if you already know a few basic Ballroom and Latin steps, have danced before, or are happy to join in and pick things up gradually.

Each week we usually look at two dances — one Ballroom and one Latin American — with time to recap, practise and enjoy a tea or coffee together.

What to expect

The Tuesday Over 50s class is friendly, sociable and gently paced.

We normally begin by recapping one of the dances from the previous week, before introducing or developing the next dance in our rolling programme.

You can expect:

  • A mixture of Ballroom and Latin American dances
  • Clear teaching and plenty of practice time
  • A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
  • Free tea and coffee during the session
  • Time to dance, chat and get to know people
  • Free on-site parking at the studio

Please bring your own mug for tea or coffee.

Is this class suitable for complete beginners?

This class is mixed ability, so we are not always able to go right back to the very beginning of each dance.

If you are a complete beginner, our Adult Beginner Ballroom & Latin classes may be a more comfortable place to start. They are designed specifically for people with no previous experience and will help you learn the basics before joining a mixed-ability daytime class.

If you are unsure which class is right for you, please contact us and we will happily advise.

Come on your own or with a partner

You are welcome to attend with or without a partner.

If you come with a partner, you are welcome to stay together throughout the class. We never force couples to swap partners.

If you come on your own, you will be very welcome too. We cannot always guarantee even numbers, but our teachers and assistants do their best to make sure solo dancers get to dance as much as possible.

Monday Tea Dance

Looking for a more social afternoon of dancing?

Our Monday Tea Dance runs from 1.30pm–3.30pm and includes a mixture of Ballroom, Latin and Sequence dancing.

This is not a taught class in the same way as the Tuesday Over 50s session. It is more of a relaxed social dance afternoon, ideal if you would like time to practise, enjoy familiar dances and spend time with other students.
