Lessons
We hold weekly lessons and practices during term time for all abilities - allowing you to learn at your own pace. Lessons are taught by our professional teacher, Joel Chapman.
This timetable is updated termly to let you know what we're doing at Dancesport each week. This timetable is subject to change but we try as best as possible to stick to this. In the event of timetables changing, we'll make sure we include it in our weekly notifications that all our members recieve. If you're not currently on our mailing list then send us an email, dancesport@yusu.org and we'll sort it for you.
The spring term is competition season, so we have to dedicate a lot of time to putting routines together for competitions. The second, or "improvers" lesson on Tuesday evenings will be used to put routines together for beginners going to competitions. If you're not a member of our team, you're still welcome to attend this lesson as normal, but we have to complete a full routine in this time so we may travel pretty quickly. The times on Saturdays refer to our focus at the practice to help structure them, and all our members are still welcome to come and use the space.
