Group Lessons at Brigsteer, for Kendal and surrounding areas,
from Beginner to Advanced
We have a qualified teacher and a teaching assistant attending most classes. These are partner dances so ideally partners are required but if solo, you re most welcome to attend.
Each month we teach two dances during each beginners session followed by supervised practice. See here for our competitive pricing.
Please note each dance for beginners is an 8 week course as listed below.
New starters are welcome to join during the first week each month when we start two new dances.

WHAT TO WEAR
Beginners often ask what to wear - wear casual comfortable clothes. Shoes, if not ballroom or Latin, should not have rubber or plastic soles, leather is better. Ladies heels should not be more than 2.5 inches high.
Please bring your own refreshments.
Telephone or email if you have any questions, your inquiry is very welcome.
