Dance your way in to 2020

Ballroom and Latin American dancing has seen a huge rise in popularity in the last few years. This is due in no small part to popular television shows such as RTE’s 'Dancing With The Stars' with the new series featuring celebrities such as Glenda Gilson, Mary Kennedy, Lottie Ryan and Michael Curruth.

Cork Dance Club offers a variety of group dance classes for all levels in a relaxed and social atmosphere. Ballroom and Latin American dance classes take place each week at the South Parish Community Centre and in Blarney GAA Club.

“Our aim is to ensure that you have lots of fun while learning a new skill and getting some exercise into the bargain,” said instructor Anne Hurley.

“Everyone has the potential to be a dancer with the proper instruction and confidence. Learning to dance is no different from learning any other discipline.

“It may feel awkward at first, that’s to be expected. Eventually you will master the basics and will be able to dance with full enjoyment without having to think about it. You will be able to just feel it and dance. The good news is learning to dance is always fun, even at the early stages.”

Cork Dance Club’s lessons encompass many different dances styles including waltz, jive, quickstep, tango, cha cha cha, foxtrot, samba, rumba and lots more.

Whether you want to dance at your wedding, debs or grads ball or because you’re looking for a new hobby, you may find that learning how to ballroom dance will give you the confidence to do any of the above.

Cork Dance Club’s new beginners’ classes take place on Thursdays at 7.15pm at the South Parish Community Centre, off South Terrace and in Blarney GAA Club at 9pm. For more information visit corkdanceclub.com or contact Anne on 087-2487696 or email corkdanceclub@gmail.com.
