  • Limited number of students at one time to maintain distancing.

  • Use the restroom at home before attending the Ballroom. The use of toilet facilities should be kept to a minimum to reduce risk.

Private Tuition

Private lessons will now only be available for 30-minute and 45-minute bookings. This is to allow for cleaning time and reduce the number of people in the Ballroom. This will initially be available for individuals or couples from the same household or isolation bubble. For children taking private lessons, we request that only one adult comes with them. We will also continue to offer online lessons for those who do not yet feel comfortable to attend the Ballroom. To book your private dance lesson, please use the link below. 

Venue Hire

We are now taking bookings for venue hire for private dance practice. This option is available for members of the same household or isolation bubble. Please complete our booking request form and we will contact you to arrange your booking.  

Group Classes

At the current time we are not offering group dance classes. Group fitness classes will resume shortly. We now ask that you book for these classes using our online booking system, or by phone, so that we can control the numbers of people in the venue.

Navigations

Tabs

In the area of graphical user interfaces (GUI), a tabbed document interface (TDI) or a Tab is one that allows multiple documents to be contained within a single window, using tabs as a navigational widget for switching between sets of documents. It is an interface style most commonly associated with web browsers, web applications, text editors, and preference panes.

GUI tabs are modeled after traditional card tabs inserted in paper files or card indexes (in keeping with the desktop metaphor).

About Our Courses

Our Ballroom & Latin-American courses make learning to dance easy and enjoyable. All our instructors are highly trained and experienced in teaching dance to all levels, whether you are just taking your first steps, or whether you are looking to compete in competitions.

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.

To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

Class PassThe wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.

These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided.

But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted.

The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

Although we do not have parking on the street, there are several council-run car parks opposite to the ballroom that can be accessed via Langton Road that are free after 6pm, and a multi-storey car park adjacent to the ballroom that can be accessed via Market Street. There is aslo street parking available outside the ballroom that is also free after 6pm.

No! We normally have extra instructors available at our classes who can partner you. There may also be a single man or lady in our class that is also looking for a dance partner! If you are a bit nervous or want one-to-one tuition you can also consider taking a private lesson.

You do not need to purchase dance shoes to learn to dance. However as your dancing progresses, you will find that having the proper dance shoes will help you to move better around the room as they help you to use your feet and get a better connection to the floor.

Please wear something that is comfortable and easy to move in. Avoid wearing trainers or any shoe with a rubber sole as it can prevent you form moving across the floor. For more information, please visit our what to wear pge by clicking here.

Yes! If you can walk, you can dance. We provide instruction in how to move your weight from foot to foot, hold your body and transform you into someone who isn't afraid to step up on the dance floor!

The Regency Dance Centre is a family run business that was setup to achieve one thing - to teach people how to dance!

We offer a friendly environment that makes it fun and enjoyable for you to learn whilst getting you to a standard that allows you to feel confident and comfortable to get around a dance floor. We offer classes and private tuition to both children and adults, and train dancers for social dancing, examinations and competitions. 

Our school is located in an authentic Ballroom, making it the ideal venue for classes, workshops, practices and functions. Please get in touch if you are interested in hiring the venue. We also run regular socials and special events throughout the year. 

We love meeting new people and we promise, once you start you will never want to stop!
