Short Courses
Group courses are a good choice if you like to learn in a social environment.
​
​​Each Course focuses on one dance (e.g. Salsa) & runs for three weeks.
Classes are held at the same time each week.
They include 45mins of structured teaching plus 10 minutes practice.
We usually have 8-16 students in a class.
​
Each course focuses on a different sequence of moves from our beginner syllabus.
There are 10 different beginner courses for each dance & they can be taken in any order.
​
Each Term we offer a range of courses in one or more of the dances.
​​
Do I need to bring a partner?
Generally, no, you can come solo & dance with other singles.
Pre-payment helps us ensure relatively even numbers of leaders & followers for each course.
As a couple, do we have to change partners in class?
No. Only solo attendees are encouraged to change partners.
Which style should I try first?
If you like popular chart music try Ballroom Latin as these dances are very versatile & will suit a variety of music, venues & events (dances include Rhumba, Cha Cha, Mambo & Samba).
​
If you love South American music & want to attend specialised Latin Events then Street Latin is for you (dances include Salsa, Merengue, Bachata & Zouk).
​
If you are looking for some active time out to wiggle, giggle & connect with a lovely group of solo women - try LatinFit Ladies.
What do I wear?
Cool casual to activewear.
​
Ideal footwear is flatish with slightly slippery soles (leather or suede are best). Old socks work too.
Students often recommend JJs House online if you want reasonable quality budget shoes.
We recommend Bloch or Capezio if you want to invest in professional shoes.
Do I have to enrol & pay in advance?
YES
There are LIMITED SPACES for couples, leaders & followers in each course.
Course enrolment requires PRE-PAYMENT.
What if I miss a class?
​​
NO CREDIT OR REFUNDS ARE OFFERED FOR MISSED CLASSES
However, you CAN attend another class IN THE SAME TERM if there is space.
​
If DanceFix cancels a class you will receive a credit or refund.
​
How much does it cost?
Can I come casually?
Yes BUT you still need to make a booking (by 12noon on the day) to ensure we have spaces & relatively even numbers of leaders & followers.
Payment is cash only at the door - $20pp per class
Can I enrol in a course ''on the night"?
No as we have limited spaces & need pre-payment to ensure a balance between leaders & followers.
I've danced before - what level am I?
Studios can have quite different notions of different levels, but as a guide:
Our Beginner Courses would suit students with 0-20hrs training in any particular style.
Our Intermediate Courses would suit students with 20-52hrs training in any particular style.
Our Advanced Courses probably need at least 52hrs prior training in any particular style.
If unsure - ask one of our instructors to watch you dance for 30 seconds. They can advise which level you would probably feel most comfortable in.
