Modern Ballroom dance classes are offered by Toongabbie Dance Centre. Once the dancer has moved up to the next level they can then make the decision to dress in the more formal dancewear.
"Ballroom dance" refers most often to the ten dances of International Standard and International Latin, though the term is also often used interchangeably with the five International Standard dances
Modern Ballroom encompasses dances such as Waltz, Tango, Slow Foxtrot, Rhythm Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz and Quickstep. Students can learn these dances by attending the scheduled class or opting to take individual lessons.
Standard dances are normally danced to Western music (often from the mid-twentieth century), and couples dance counter-clockwise around a rectangular floor following the line of dance. In competitions, competitors are costumed as would be appropriate for a white tie affair, with full gowns for the ladies and bow tie and tail coats for the men; though in in the level 1 category (beginners) and for all Juvenile (Under 13yr) competitors there is a restricted dress code that ensures that the emphasis is on the dancing in the competition rather than the costuming and that the initial cost to commence competition is kept to a minimum.
Once the dancer has moved up to the next level they can then make the decision to dress in the more formal dancewear.
Our goal is to offer a friendly, safe environment for students of all ages to learn to express themselves, gain self-esteem and choose a healthy lifestyle.
We want every dancer to be in their element. We also understand that not every child will choose dance as a career, and that’s okay. We commit to giving every student the same amount of love and dedication as the next. Dance lessons are much more than that.
We will give them the tools to use in all aspects of life. Confidence, leadership skills, creative thinking and relationships that will last a lifetime.
The media often misrepresents Modern Ballroom dancing as very formal and perhaps even a little stuffy. In reality, the dances themselves are neither. Dances are merely patterns of movements performed to a musical rhythm
Our Beginners Ballroom Class starts by teaching Slow Rhythm, which forms the basis of many ballroom dances
Your lessons will use the relationship between couple and instructor to create a personalised and fun first dance
We offer a variety of days & nights and also times for these classes.
