18th Anniversary Party

Back in April we celebrated 18 years since the formation of Learn To Dance!

We are so grateful to all our students for their continued support. It’s great to say that we are finally back to full strength after all these post-COVID years.

In fact we’re already starting to make preparations for our grand 20 year anniversary in 2026!!!

Kristina Rihanoff

It was an intense set of sessions back in May with an afternoon of Latin American workshops with Kristina Rihanoff.

There were a lot of technical elements for the students to take away and work on, along with a few fun sequences they could add in to their existing repertoire.

Our next Strictly workshop day is Sunday 10th November with Erin Boag.

    Instagram…cork in the act

    This week we received a free promo sample of a notebook/pen combo…however we’re completely confused by the design choice of a strip of cork down the edge.

    Let us know if you have any clue whether there’s a practical reason for the cork, or whether it’s just a style choice that we can’t fathom?

    Instagram…popping under pressure

    You know we always look for new and innovative ways to practice the techniques you need for Ballroom and Latin American dancing.

    Last week’s bright idea was using semi-inflated balloons to work on developing the right amount of pressure when dancing Latin American with a partner.

    It seemed to go well, so expect to see them ‘popping’ up again in lessons and classes!


    Bachata Course Rescheduled

    Merengue Class

    Last week we also cancelled the Bachata course due to a lack of advance bookings. However following the announcement of the cancellation we had a number of students get in touch to say they had intended to turn up on the night.

    A reminder that we do require advance booking for our classes as we have a minimum number that we will run the courses for.

    By request we have rescheduled the Bachata course to start from Monday 17th June so please do book in if you intend to partake in the course!

    Upcoming Courses

    Learn To Dance Group Lesson at Cherry Orchard Studio

    We have made the decision to cancel the Beginner Rumba course that was due to start tomorrow evening. Unfortunately there just wasn’t enough interest to make this course viable.

    The highlight of your stay will be the prestigious Johann Strauss Ball at the Kursalon Wien on Saturday, 15th February. Dressed in your finest, you’ll enjoy a Gold Package ticket, starting your evening with a sumptuous gala dinner. As the night unfolds, the ballroom doors open to a spectacle of beauty and tradition, led by debutantes from a local dance school.

    Dance the Night Away on our Vienna Dance Break 2025

Every half hour, the mood shifts as a band takes over, offering a variety of ballroom and Latin American dances. Throughout the evening, enjoy varied entertainment including live singers and dance performances. Don’t miss the mass Quadrille at midnight—a playful yet chaotic dance that is sure to be a highlight of the night. The ball extends until the early hours of 4am, but feel free to retire whenever you wish. Upon departure, ladies will receive a charming gift, a testament to a night well spent. Our Vienna Dance Break 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience!
