Thursday evenings
Adult beginners
The adult beginner class starts where Grade 1 starts: the basic steps, a few hand gestures and the count of the rhythm. Adults come for many reasons. Some grew up watching the dance, and some have never tried it. Nobody is asked to perform, and nobody is expected to arrive with experience.
