Hi
I am first year student in St Andrews University and am dancing ballroom & latin american dances for approximately 4 years.
So is it possible to join group of ballroom & latin american dancing for intermediate students?
Can you please tell me more about any of options you have for me.
Many thanks,
Aida

I, thanks for the query. I generally list social dances that are in the local area. I’ not too clear on what sources of learning dance are available to you at intermediate level. Dundee College used to run dance classes, but generally in Tayside anyway, teaching classes are pretty much non-existent at this time. If anyone out there knows otherwise feel free to post the update here. Thanks

Hi, my father is 80 on sat 18th June and I wanted to take him and my mother (a few others too) to a tea dance that day. They were great dancers in their day and still love to have a dance. Any suggestions on where to go – preferably that day? I don’t live in Dundee myself so would be very grateful for any help.

As new converts to the world of ballroom dancing its nice to see the variety of local places listed on your website where we can go and improve our dancing. However its a pity that many of the dates clash.
We dance regularly with George and Sheila in Balmullo and are particularly enjoying their Monday night tea dances with their mix of social dancing and sequence lessons. We have learned some older favourites but also brand new dances straight off the press and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn sequence or simply just to have fun revisiting the well known dances.

Hi, just found your website “ballroom-dancing-diary” and wondered if you have seen mine. It is a list of dance venues, primarily in and around Glasgow, but with some venues (such as yours above) throughout Scotland. May I include a link to your site? Perhaps you would like to put in a link to mine.
Best regards

Thanks very much for your web site , it as now introduced us to Sequence dancing at the british legion Arbroath and the lovely friendly people the teachers Jack & Jean are very helpful and its fun . which puts back what was missing in our lives. We also go to Ceroc which is unbelievable far far better than any medal class
ANGUS REPLIED ->
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I’m really pleased it has been useful for you.
So glad you too are enjoying your dancing and yes the folks at Arbroath are very friendly. We have only gone a couple of times there but will be going back once the light nights come in.
When you see some new faces you will have to introduce yourself.
Thanks again for your comment.
