Intermediate Courses

  • More about the courses

    • If you’ve worn in your dancing shoes enough and box stepped your way through the beginner courses with ease,  or if you’re already a dance enthusiast and able to dance the basic steps, then you’re ready to move up to the next stage of dance training. This course is also for people who have done other dance styles and are able to pick up routines easily. By the end of a course you’ll know many new ballroom steps and be able to perform more complex routines.

      Each course runs for 6 consecutive weeks, during which you’ll be taught three dances. Click on course title to see the list of them. You’ll do a reminder of basic steps and learn new ones. Classes take place in an easy-going, sociable setting, where everyone is encouraged to get to know one another.

      Once you book a course, you will gain access to STUDENT PORTAL, where you will find videos of the steps you will be learning and more. These will be added gradually after each class, so make sure you check back regularly.

      Courses are not drop-in classes, so you’ll need to pay and book in advance through the website. Courses may become fully booked so book in advance to guarantee your spot. It will not be possible to join the course after it has started.

  • Michael’s short courses are truly unique! He carefully explains choreography, technique, alignments and positions, and, more importantly, he stresses out how this dance is different from other ballroom dances. He supports every single student and makes sure everyone is on board with the steps. He creates an environment in which you completely forget day-to-day problems and focus on the beauty of dance!

  • Michael is a very friendly, professional and down to earth instructor.  He provides you with countless opportunities to pursue your passion.  It has provided me with discipline, confidence, grace and a comfortable learning environment I can be myself in. The whole session is informative, enthusiastic, engaging, challenging and bursting with energy.
