With that in mind we thought it would be a great idea to put together a playlist. We’ve prepared a 2hr playlist with a selection of songs for all the dances we teach. This has been uploaded to our YouTube Channel so that it is accessible to all our students.

We’ve set the playlist up exactly the same as our in-person practice sessions. So we have two of each dance for the 12 dances and then we repeat with more songs.

For music copyright reasons we have chosen songs we have the rights to use. They may not be immediately recognisable, but we hope you enjoy them.

Hearing your feedback gave us an idea…what if we could provide space to practice, whilst still observing government guidelines?

How then can we practice Ballroom & Latin American dancing in the current pandemic?

Our plan is to provide a whole day of pre-bookable 1 hour practice slots at our dance studio in Burnham. We have scheduled this in for Friday 14th August.

There will be a maximum of 4 couples permitted in each slot. We will allow 30 minutes for sanitising the studio in between sessions.

Students will be asked to respect social distancing guidelines. Hopefully however there should be enough space to keep away from each other!

We will play a selection of Ballroom and Latin American dance music so that you can practice your repertoire.

You can book for more than one session, but will be asked to leave the studio during the sanitisation break.

That sounds amazing, how can I book?

There are a number of ways to book onto the Ballroom & Latin American practice sessions. You can call or email us, or book online.

Please note we are unable to accept walk-ins on the door. You can call us on the day to confirm if we have slots available. However we do expect this to be a popular event so pre-booking early is advised.

The sessions will cost £15 per couple.

Will you run these Ballroom & Latin American practice days regularly?

If they prove popular we may consider making them a regular occurrence. Possibly one Friday a month but midway through the month with our regular social on the usual last Friday of the month.

Obviously our regular socials cannot currently run under government guidelines. But we hope the pandemic situation will improve to the point they can be restarted.
