WCS London Classes

All of our regular group classes are held on Monday nights at the Polish Hall, 554 Hill St. (registration required). Classes are one hour long, with the last 10-15 minutes dedicated to a guided practice where you can practice what you have learned, with the instructors circulating and helping. We start with the Repertoire class at 6:30, followed by the Foundations/Foundations II class at 7:30. From 8:30 to 9:00 there is a practice dance.

No Partner is Required. We encourage rotation of partners during our group classes. This quickens and enhances your learning as you adjust and adapt to other dancers at various levels and promotes the social aspect of the dance.
