Lessons

Classes are held at the Frankton Rugby Sports Club from 7 - 7.45 pm on Wed club night.  Arrive 10min early on the first night to register.
After the lessons is our regular club night which you are encouraged to stay on for.
   
Free tea/coffee/milo and a biscuit is also provided.

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 ( soft rubber soled shoes are much harder to dance in)
• - Bring a sense of humour
• - Normal clubnight entry fee $5 [members $3]
• - 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, partners will be regularly swapped around, in a circle,  so you will get to dance with both other beginners and some experienced dancers.
  When, sometimes, we cannot balance the genders, as you move 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.
