Frequently Asked Questions

We have decided to make an online frequently asked questions (FAQ) section to provide you with as much information as possible. The idea is simply a list of common questions with their answers.

What if I have two left feet?

So many people are sadly put off dancing through a fear of having two left feet or a lack of rhythm and not wanting to feel silly, but fear not, at Anglo Dance we really look after those who may struggle to pick up the steps and teach with such passion and enthusiasm that we wouldn’t let anybody look or feel silly. We believe with a little patience, a little determination and a lot of fun we can teach anybody to dance! Ballroom and Latin also improves everybody’s sense of rhythm as each dance has a set structure to it.
