We are professional
teachers of dancing specialising in modern sequence dancing. We run
several dance clubs in the Bournemouth area. Modern Sequence Dancing is based on the standard ballroom and latin dances, including waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, rumba etc. However everyone dances the same 16 bar routine together. The dance steps are all standardised and often at gold medal standard, but because the same routine is being done by everyone they become quite easy and enjoyable. There are also some classical (or old time) dances but these are generally less popular. Sequence dances are enjoyable social events and there is no competition or exhibitionism. Beginners are welcomed and helped with the dances. Newcomers need to try several clubs to find the one most suited to their level of dancing and with company that they can enjoy. Some clubs cater more for those who go dancing only occasionally or perhaps once a week and have a limited repertoire of social (or popular) sequence dances such as the mayfair quickstep etc. Dancers at these clubs are happy with just a few different dances. Other clubs are for those dancers seeking a greater challenge who go dancing several times a week and new dances are regularly taught. These new dances are chosen at national competitions and there are currently 45 new dances per year. The same ones are done all over the country. |

| Sequence dances are usually run as clubs rather than commercial operations and charges are quite low (£1 to £2). They particularly attract retired people and provide a friendly and social atmosphere. Ladies often dance together when there are insufficient gentlemen. | ||||||
