LatinQuarter Dance Classes.

LatinQuarter's New Dance Classes Commence 7th September 2009.

We provide dance classes at various locations throughout counties Down and Antrim in Northern Ireland. Focusing on social dance skills, we provide a fun environment to learn and practice dance. We work on lead and follow and understanding the dance steps so that dancers are confident in the social environment and can comfortably move round the dancefloor however crowded or spacious it may be.

Also in order to respond to customers' requests and improve our service we have restructured all our Modern Ballroom and Latin classes starting this September. This means that anyone wishing to focus on one Ballroom dance for a special occassion or just wishing to get dancing to a resonable level in one dance as quickly as possible can do so. We have arranged the classes so that we focus on one dance for a whole month and in some cases you can even take a beginners and intermediate course sequentially so that you get a full 8 week course in one dance to raise your standard even further.

This change effectively means that a new beginners class starts every month with a new dance so that customers can plan ahead much more effectively to learn the dances they are interested in.

For our Tuition Schedule please see: www.latinquarter.uk.com/lessons.php
