Intermediate Class
Our Intermediate Class is the next step for dancers who have built confidence in our Beginner Plus level and want to push their dancing further. You’ll work across all the core Ballroom and Latin dances (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Jive), with occasional extras like Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz, Salsa, and Argentine Tango added in for variety.

This is where we start introducing Silver-level routines and helping you develop stronger technique, smoother movement, and greater confidence on the floor. If you’re keen to expand your repertoire and feel your dancing progress week by week, this is the class for you.

Advanced Class
Our Advanced Class is designed for dancers who already move confidently through the main Ballroom and Latin styles and are ready to push into true mastery. This is where we explore deeper technique, advanced musicality, and choreography inspired by competitive-level dancing, all while keeping our trademark supportive, down-to-earth atmosphere.

You will work across all core Ballroom and Latin dances, with occasional bonus sessions in Salsa and Argentine Tango to keep things fresh.

If you are hungry for refinement, challenge, and that next gear in your dancing, this is the place to find it.
