The Majestic Ballroom - What We Do
At Leamington Dance Centre we teach anyone to
dance. And, if they already dance, well improve
their technique whether it be in Waltz, Cha Cha, Rock and Roll, Argentine Tango or Two-step.
There are classes for all ages in: Ballroom, Latin
American, Old Time, Rock and Roll and Argentine
Tango, ranging from Social Dancing to all grades of
Medal Classes and Professional Coaching.
Becoming a good dancer provides our members with a
lifetime of pleasure; our club facilities provide an
ideal context in which to learn, but also a place in
which to share your enjoyment of dancing with others.
Awaiting any new member to the Dance Centres
elegantly refurbished premises are our most valuable
assets: expert and experienced teachers, and happy,
friendly existing members.

The Format
As we are licensed premises, with the bar open
in the evenings, everyone admitted after 8 pm must be
over 18, however, all age groups are well represented,
from young adults to the mature young at heart, We have
rockers from 18 to 80!!
The evening starts with instruction and is followed
by a Social practice dance, where you can make friends,
have a drink and practice what you have been learning
during the class. The teaching staff will be on hand
to help out if you are having any difficulties.
The Location
Leamington Dance Centre is located at the bottom
of The Parade in Leamington Spa opposite the Town Hall.
It is on the second floor above Pizza Hut and a snooker
hall. The entrance stairs are located to the left of
the Pizza Hut frontage. There is free parking opposite
the Dance Centre in Regent Grove. MAP

What to Wear
Social
Dance, Ballroom, Latin, Old Time, Most
members wear comfortable casual clothes. It helps if
footwear is soft enough to be able to bend the foot
at the toe joint. Slippery soles, high thin heels or
sling backs should be avoided.
Rock n Roll,
Casual wear is appropriate. Most members
wear jeans and other comfortable clothes. As the evening
progresses, the temperature rises, so layers are best
- a T-shirt even in winter is usually enough. It helps
if footwear is soft enough to be able to bend the foot
at the toe joint. Slippery soles, high thin heels or
sling backs should be avoided. A lot of the members
wear trainers.
