Group lessons |
 |
| |
Throughout the year Emma Weir runs a number of group lessons for couples to come along and learn some basic steps to feel confident on the floor.
Couples can register their music choice beforehand or gather inspiration from the music used in the sessions. Steps covered will be some basic rhythm steps taken and adapted from popular social dances (Ballroom, Latin, Sequence etc) plus some general walks and turns that can be used with any music. The initial approach will be quite gentle for absolute beginners but we will offer some 'simple but effective' moves to spice the routine up if desired. There will also be time for couples to practise independently and put in their own ideas if they wish.
Couples should find that the group course teaches them enough to be happy on the floor but if they want to book any follow up private lessons to hone an individually choreographed routine, they will be offered a 10% discount on the standard prices for a limited period after the course date.
Next group workshop:
Sunday 13th May
2.00-5.00pm
Dance Attic, Fulham
£45.00 per couple
This course is ideal for people who perhaps haven't decided on a song yet or would like to try out a few ideas. It is also a good basis for those who don't necessarily want a structured routine to have some guidance on ideas of their own. Make the most of the studio, social environment and support from Emma in a fun no-pressure afternoon of dance. Booking now - email to register.

Private Tuition |
 |
| |
In a private lesson we can cater for your exact requirements whether than be a full length choreographed routine or just some tips to boost your confidence on the floor. Book as as few or as many lessons as you like to suit your needs, budget and level of dance experience.
Contact us for advice on what sort of dance might suit you - we can work with all types of music.
Rates from March 2011:
1 hr lessons at one of our regular studios (various locations - ask us for details) = £50.00
Home visit 90 minute lessons = £60.00 (these are within agreed travel zone and subject to availability)
We don't believe that you should pay extra simply because it's a wedding dance, therefore these rates are the same as our usual private lesson rates and we do not charge a 'choreography fee' or insist you book a 'package' unlike many other companies. |

Types of routine |
|
|
The slow Waltz is a traditional first dance. Other Ballroom dances such as Quickstep and Foxtrot (social/rhythm is easiest for beginners) suit most swing music such as Frank Sinatra / Rat Pack songs. |
|
|
Latin American dances such as Mambo / Salsa, Rumba, Jive etc suit a lot of modern music, particularly more up tempo romantic songs. |
|
|
Freestyle routines give you the most freedom to pick the song of your choice. lean some basic couple positions, steps and turns that can be choreographed to fit to your music regardless of style or speed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Novelty dances can be fun if you want the event to be more lighthearted. This can involve set routines, group dances, themed or character pieces (such as country and western music for a cowboy theme) or other fun style routines. |
