Lessons

Classes are held at the Frankton Rugby Sports Club from 7 - 7.55 pm on Wed club night.  After the lessons is our regular club night which you are encouraged to stay on for. Free tea/coffee/milo and a biscuit is available.

Your teaching team is lead by experienced dancers and teach in an informal, friendly environment.

What you need to know:
• - No previous experience is required
• - Wear comfortable shoes ( rubber soled shoes are much harder to dance in)
• - Bring a sense of humour
• - $5 a lesson
• - Prepare to enjoy it
• - Partners  not required.
• ..... but it makes a big difference if you can come as a couple, we are always short of guys.  Guys who learn to dance have the girls lining up. 
• - If you are unable to come as a couple we will try to arrange partners by mixing and matching either with other beginners or club members who volunteer their time and are prepared to assist with the lessons. 
• - During the lessons, all partners will be regularly swapped around, in a circle,  so you will get to dance with both other beginners and some experienced dancers. If sometimes we cannot balance the genders exactly then once in the rotation around the circle you may not have a partner for a short time. 
• - If you come as a couple then you can either choose to stay together or for a recommended better learning experience...join the mix!
• - Don't feel because you are a beginner that you would feel out of place during the club night. Our members have a wide range of skill and plenty who still feel a bit like beginners themselves. Its just fun to dance and socialise.
