Woking Dance Space offers a range of short courses for dancers wishing to improve their dance technique.

Each six week course is targeted at individuals with a good foundation knowledge. These sessions will provide opportunities to refine, explain and practice more complex steps and movement combinations where in other classes, there may not be enough time for such in depth explanations.

In doing so, the dancers will become more confident and comfortable in performing these steps in the flow of a normal class.

The pace of the class can be tailored to the participants and we will make sure to keep it conversational, relaxed and completely personal to what individuals would like to work on.

If you wish take your technique to the next level, these are the ideal class to do so.
