Do you want to start a new sport at university? Are you a Strictly Come Dancing fan, but never had the chance to dance? Maybe you've had years of dance training already and want to carry on competing on the floor?
Come and join us at Latin & Ballroom! We have classes available for all levels, from beginners to advanced, so whether you’ve never stepped foot on the floor before or you’re a seasoned dancer, there’s something for everyone. You can join us for weekly classes, perfect your skills in our practice spaces, and if you end up falling in love with L&B, you can compete with us. We compete eight times a year, including at Warwick Varsity, our very own competition held at the Sports and Wellness Hub, and Nationals, which is held in the famous Empress Ballroom in Blackpool! Yes, you can compete in Blackpool with us!
So, what are you waiting for? Check us out and get on that floor!
What exactly do we offer?
We hold weekly classes at all levels from Beginner to Advanced, covering the ten dances of Latin and Ballroom: Waltz, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot for Ballroom, and Cha Cha Cha, Jive, Rumba, Samba, and Paso Doble for Latin. Our Beginner classes are led by our amazing Coaching & Development Officers, while our Novice and Pre-Inter+ classes are taught by our professional coach, Sophie Woodall. Whatever level you join us at, we promise you'll be able to tell your friends and family how amazing you've become at dancing...
If that wasn’t enough, we also do plenty of performances throughout the year if you want to get on stage – from CMD's annual show to Pizazz, organised by our friends at Warwick Tap! As part of our annual Charities Week, we also host our very own Warwick Does Strictly, raising money for icandance – one of the highlights of our L&B calendar! And, as already mentioned, we compete eight times a year – competitions are not scary either (if they sound it!), they're a fantastic chance to showcase all the hard work from lessons and support the rest of the team!
And, of course, we're still a club – so we have plenty of socials throughout the year too, which is a great way to make new friends, get to know other members of the club, and have fun! It's really impossible to be bored at Latin & Ballroom – we hope we become a welcoming, second family to you at Warwick!
