Anglo Dance Studios cover all the following dances listed below; we have broken them down into categories to make it easier for you.

Firstly we will discuss Ballroom and Latin.

Ballroom Dance Information
The term Ballroom covers a whole range of dances including:

• Waltz – waltz music has 3 beats in a bar and is played at an easy pace however Viennese Waltz is much faster but fabulous to dance.
• Quickstep- is a bright lively dance.
• Tango is a dramatic dance and great fun to do.
• Foxtrot is for the more advanced dancer.
• Slow Rhythm or American Smooth is great to jazz, blues or pop music.
  

Latin American Dance Information
Cha-Cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive and Paso Doble. All fabulous Latin American Dances with exciting  energetic music.

• Cha-Cha is good for a beginners because the music is bright but not too fast.
• Jive is fantastic and such good fun for everyone.
• Rumba is the classic of the Latin American dances and the slowest of the Latin section.
• The Samba beat is bright and happy.
• Paso Doble music is associated with the bull fight and is used mainly for competitions and exhibitions
  

Alternative Rhythms Dance Information
These are also Latin dances, but are more modern additions to the family. They include Salsa, Mambo, and Meringue. These dances are fast and fun.
Anglo aim to introduce a whole range of Latin and ballroom dances on our beginner classes, please contact us to find out what courses are currently available.

Street/Hip Hop Dance Information
If you want to try some funky moves then join our Street / Hip-Hop class. It's energetic, lively, good fun and similar to moves on today’s pop videos. We teach the steps and moves first, then work them into a routine, and then add the style! There are classes for children, teens and adults. Street/Hip Hop definitely improves fitness and co-ordination (See health benefits). We always warm up at the start of all classes to minimise the risk of injury and always end with a cool down so you go away feeling really good, without aching! See the timetable for current classes.

Children We cater for children of all ages, offering a wide variety of dances, children are given the option of working towards competitions, shows and displays. They can also work for I.S.T.D. medallist exams or equivalent. See our Junior section for more information.
