Frequently Asked Questions
 
How old do I have to be?
Everyone is welcome from 4 to 104! We have a mixed age-range in our adult class and cater for all abilities. We specify that children need to be about 4 before they start to dance – when they are old enough to take instruction and know their left from their right! We have adult and children's classes throughout the West Midlands.
Do I need a partner?
No! We have many singles – both male and female and we always endeavour to find you a partner.
What shall I wear?
Just normal casual clothes. For men, jeans or trousers and a t-shirt or shirt are fine, for ladies the same applies or a dress or skirt and top.   Basically, anything goes but ballgowns and tiaras aren't needed!
What footwear shall I wear?
Anything goes but best advice is to wear a normal comfy shoe that stays on your foot if you kick your leg. Trainers tend to grip the floor too much and are a bit clumpy so a shoe that you can slide in is a bit better. Flip flops, boots and wellingtons aren't great either (yes, we have had them) but no one will say anything to you no matter what you wear.
Do I need to book?
No. Just turn up whenever you want to
How big are the classes?
All of our classes are usually busy with a lively, fun atmosphere.   We have plenty of teachers and assistants on hand so large numbers aren't a problem.
Is there a membership or joining fee?
NO! Just turn up and pay as you go!
When can I start?
Our classes usually start in September and January but you can join at anytime throughout the year.
I am going on holiday so I will miss a few classes can I catch up?
Yes! If you feel you would like to catch up we offer private lessons. You can share this lesson with another couple to keep the cost down if you want to.
Do you do Medal Tests?
Yes! We hold medal tests twice a year and hold a fun medal presentation and dance night for you to attend afterwards.
Where can I dance?

Do you have Christmas Dances?
Yes! We usually hold two Christmas dances every year – one in Wolverhampton and one in Sutton Coldfield.
