Last week we saw the return of the famous Blackpool Dance Festival where competitors from across the world travelled to the famous Winter Gardens Ballroom. The festival included many categories for Ballroom, Latin-American and American Smooth which saw some excellent results for British couples! 

Barre Fitness is a brand-new group exercise class that combines the elegant moves of Ballet with the fitness benefits of Pilates, all set to fun and upbeat music! This class is perfect for anyone looking to improve their posture, flexibility, balance, body control as well as improving muscle endurance! 

We are finally allowed to return to dancing and continue this wonderful journey of learning how to dance. However, for many, this can be both daunting as well as exciting. I have been talking to several students over the last couple of weeks how to get the most out of returning to the dance floor.

The Tango often stands out from the other Ballroom dances due to its passionate, flirtatious style and sharp staccato movements.  It is easily identifiable in films and tv shows that often exaggerate these characteristics to create drama and anticipation between the characters. 

The word “Technique” is often seen as an intimidating word when mentioned to most social dancers. The belief is that technique is “not relevant to my goals” and is “only for competitors, looking to become champions”. Although it is true that we study dance technique to enhance our performance, there are many reasons you should improve your technique.
