If you need to learn to dance for your wedding and don't have time for weekly classes then this is the course for you. Friday 18 - Sunday 20 September 2009.

Ballroom - Dances taught in class include Foxtrot, hustle, salsa, rumba, cha-cha, tango, waltz. We start with the foxtrot the first lesson then carry on with the hustle the next lesson after doing some revision of the previous lesson. We then learn the waltz and move onto the cha-cha and salsa in the next few lessons. We don't learn a lot in each lesson but spend quite a lot of time practising so that you can remember what you learnt and apply it when you go out and party.
Hip-hop/Latin-for-Ladies combined class (only in Midrand) - Each lesson we do a warm up and then we do continue with the dance. I teach a new dance every 6 weeks or so and that is when new people can join in the class. The routines are complex but we move slowly so that you are able to learn the moves properly. The classes are good exercise once quite a lot of the routine has been learnt but the thing that I concentrate on the most in class is teaching interesting moves. Classes are an excellent stress release as you cannot worry about your problems in class because you need to concentrate on what is being done. You will leave class feeling refreshed and relaxed.
For wedding couples - cost of private lessons R400 per couple per hour. Available times of private lessons can be found HERE (last updated 20 August 2009) .
Please note that all studios only accept couples, except for Pretoria and Bryanston- they do take singles in certain classes/private lessons.
