10.45am – Intro To Kizomba – Dale StRose (Int)

Kizomba is a sensual partner dance from Angola, celebrated for its smooth, slow movement and close connection between partners. Join Dale as he guides you through the basics of this Latin/African style and learn how to create clear, intricate lead-and-follow communication through the torso.

 

12pm – Confidence in Close Hold – Matt & Steph Blain (Int+)

Close hold should feel connected, comfortable, and calm – not awkward or risky. Matt & Steph will show you how to get in and out of close hold with confidence, using clear technique that builds trust, communication, and a stronger lead/follow connection.

You’ll work on posture, frame, distance, and shared movement so close hold feels fluid rather than forced. The goal: more mutual awareness, more control, and that “we’ve got this” feeling on the dancefloor.

 

1.15pm – Solos in Partnership – Veronika Oliver (Int)

Bring more personality into partnered dancing by learning how to include small solo moments without disconnecting from your partner. You’ll explore simple improvisation ideas, playful accents, and easy “solo flashes” that fit naturally inside your usual moves.

This is about adding freedom and expression while staying connected – giving both lead and follow options to respond to the music and each other with confidence.

 

2.30pm – New Advanced Moves – Steve Thomas (Adv)

Ready for fresh material that feels modern, slick, and properly advanced? This masterclass is packed with new move concepts, smart entries/exits, and satisfying sequences designed for experienced dancers who want to expand their vocabulary.

Expect clear structure and strong technique so the moves don’t just exist – they work on a busy floor, feel good to lead/follow, and give you options to adapt in real time.

 

3.45pm – Realtime Choreography – Dan Hewitt Green (Int)

Learn how to “build it as you go” – creating exciting, musical sequences in the moment without planning ahead. This masterclass gives you tools to make spontaneous choices that still look intentional: phrasing, patterning, and how to develop a theme through a song.

Perfect if you want your dancing to feel more creative and less like running a script. You’ll leave with simple frameworks that make improvising feel easy (and fun).

 

5pm – Totally Quackers – Adam Deller (Int+)

If you love duck moves (or you’re ready to fall in love with them), this masterclass is your next level.

You’ll work on the key ingredients that make ducks work brilliantly: clean set-ups, reliable timing, and making the pathway obvious so it feels effortless rather than frantic. Expect plenty of “have a go” energy, lots of options to scale up or down, and duck moves that look fantastic on a social floor.

 

6.15pm – Aerials – Tony & Hayley (Adv)

For experienced dancers only: aerials with a strong focus on safety, technique, and trust. You’ll learn how to prep correctly, communicate clearly, and execute aerial shapes with control – not brute force.

Expect careful progressions, spotting, and repeatable mechanics so you can build confidence step-by-step. Powerful, impressive, and done with respect for your body and your partner.

10.45am – Flashy at 50! – Lyndsey Hill (Int+)…over 50’s only please

Flash doesn’t have an age limit — it’s about giving yourself permission to have a go. This masterclass is a friendly, confidence-building playground for trying more advanced moves in a safe space, with progressions that let you choose the level that suits you on the day. You’ll explore a mix of crowd-stopping options with clear coaching and plenty of room to practise, starting simple and adding layers as you feel ready. The vibe is very much can do, let’s have a try!

 

12pm – Super Drops – Tony & Hayley (Adv)

Big drops, done properly. This advanced masterclass focuses on making drops look dramatic while staying safe, stable, and repeatable. You’ll work on set-ups, weight

placement, support points, timing, and how to make each drop feel smooth rather than scary – with an emphasis on control, consent, and clear communication.

 

1.15pm – Burlesque – Veronika Oliver (All)

A confidence-boosting performance class with a cheeky Burlesque twist – yes, there’s a chair, and heels are optional. You’ll learn how to use posture, teasing musicality, and character to create a routine that feels stylish and empowering (not intimidating).

It’s playful, theatrical, and inclusive for all levels – and if you fancy it, you’ll have the chance to perform later in the pub/boudoir setting after classes.

 

2.30pm – Technical Challenge – Matt & Steph Blain (Adv+)

This is the one for dancers who love being pushed. Expect fast-paced, complex combinations that test your clarity, connection, and problem-solving – with coaching aimed at taking your lead/follow skill to the next level.

Are you up for the ultimate challenge?

 

3.45pm – SILC New Moves – Caine Langford (Adv)

If you want cutting-edge SILC material, this is your playground. Expect advanced patterns with clear technique, modern flow, and that satisfying “this feels new” buzz -moves designed to challenge experienced SILC dancers while still working socially.

 

5pm – Conversations – Steve Thomas (Int)

Great social dancing feels like a chat – not a monologue. This masterclass teaches you how to create a genuine back-and-forth with your partner: inviting responses, reading what you’re given, and making choices that feel shared rather than “done to”.

You’ll explore connection, play, and musical timing so your dancing becomes more interactive, more relaxed, and a lot more fun for both roles.

 

6.15pm – Micro Blues – Ben Davies (Int+)

Discover the world of micro blues – small, subtle movement that creates big connection. This advanced masterclass focuses on how to generate groove and musicality with minimal travel, using tiny weight changes, texture, and timing to make close hold feel rich and expressive without needing lots of space.
