Hello Sarah

If you are wanting to try to learn ballroom dancing, there's a society you could join.

It's run by the local universities, but you don't have to be a student to join - - anyone can!

It's called Sheffield Universities DanceSport Society.

Click on their website to find out more about them:

I hope this will be a help to you.

Regards, and Happy New Year.

Thanks for that Rob - I looked at them before but thought it was just for students. Have you been - is it good?

Happy New Year to you too!

I have to admit to you, Sarah, that I've not yet been to any of their meetings, but I have friends who have, and they're very impressed with that society.

I've met a few of their members, and they seem to me a very friendly bunch, very enthusiastic and understanding how beginners feel.

Gisele, on their committee, is a particularly nice person who would give you a really warm welcome. (See website for contact details.)

I'm kept busy with a couple of other dance societies (for Salsa), and of course you would be extremely welcome to join us! To give us a try, you could come along to The Forum any Tuesday night and join in the fun. Lessons 7.30 until 10PM, and free for everyone after that time. :bigsmile:

Ask for me, if you're shy. I'm always there! OK? ;)

Bye for now,

Rob

Went to a group ballroom and latin dancing class the other night and it was brilliant. The only problem is the girl I went with can't make it on a regular basis, so I need a partner. Anyone fancy it?
-Don't mind dancing with another girl

hi used to do ballroom and want to get back into it where abouts do you go and what times ?

i'm interested, complete beginner at ballroom though :)

I did beginnners' courses in general ballroom and in salsa a few years ago. Am a middle aged male but would be interested in going to Beighton classes.
