Walk in, dance out

Walk in, dance out: Day of taster classes for complete beginners

One ticket buys you 14 hours of taster classes in one day to choose from - you might have walked in, but you will definitely dance out.

Bishopsgate Institute are offering another day of partner and social dance classes, designed for adult complete beginners, after the amazing success of Let's Dance! in March. You don't need a partner as everyone will dance with everyone in these classes.

Once again, they've teamed up with Stardance (Nick Miles), the Pink Jukebox, Swing Patrol, Queer Salsa and Queer Tango London to welcome you to the dancefloor and to guide you to take those first steps.

Classes will start on the hour and run for an hour each, and there will be two options every hour (two rooms, each offering a different style).

This event is for over-18s, not children.

Time: Doors open at 9:30am with the first classes starting at 10am. Take as many as you like. The final classes of the day are at 4pm and the building closes at 5pm to allow us to re-set for the evening event, Charles's Jukebox.

Tickets: £25 full price, £18 concession.
