Tuesday Night Dance Classes

Tuesday night is partner dance class night at the Corsham Centre.  Classes start at 8pm for the main class, but when we have some beginners there is an an early session for them from 7.40pm (but they can stay all night and join in the fun, or just sit and watch).  At present we do not have any beginners, our aim is to integrate them into the main class as soon as possible after they have learnt basic techniques, dance terminology and a selection of classic beginner and easy improver level dances.

New members are always welcome, experienced dancers or beginners, there will be a warm welcome whatever your level.  After attending 6 class nights, your membership of Triple C and the Corsham Centre will be confirmed.  Membership of the Corsham Centre allows you use of their facilities at any time and special members prices at the bar!!

Class fees are only £3.00 per person, and each week there is an opportunity to win free entry to the next class in the free raffle.  The emphasis is always on having fun and there is a friendly relaxed atmosphere.  By general consensus of the members, the teaching regime is quite relaxed, with 3 - 4 new dances in a 5 week period, giving plenty of time for recaps, and very often an old dance will be re-taught to give the newer dancers a chance to catch up with some of the classics.  Occasionally, a line dance will be taught for a bit of variety, but principally the classes are for partner dancers.
