Beginner Night Club Waltz / Slow Dancing – Part 1 (3-Week Workshop)

Looking to feel comfortable on the dance floor at weddings, parties, or social events? This 3-week Beginner Night Club Waltz / Slow Dancing workshop (Part 1) is designed to give you the confidence to move naturally with a partner — even if you’ve never danced before.

Night Club Waltz (often thought of as “slow dancing”) is smooth, relaxed, and incredibly versatile. It works beautifully with a wide range of music — from classic ballads to modern love songs — making it one of the most practical dances to know.

Over these 3 weeks, we’ll focus on:

• Simple, easy-to-learn steps you can use right away
• Leading and following basics for a comfortable connection
• Timing and musicality so you can actually dance to the music
• Smooth movement and turns to build confidence on the floor

No partner or experience required — rotating partners is encouraged, but you may stay with your partner if you are more comfortable that way. Changing partners helps to create a welcoming, supportive environment for everyone.

If you are not a VBDS member, please sign up for free account and once logged in you can register for the workshop. We are here to support registrations via email to classes@vbds.org.

Part 2 is planned for June 14–28, building on what you learn here — offered if registration levels support it.

Whether you want to avoid the “high school shuffle” or just feel more at ease dancing with someone, this workshop is a great place to start.

Come join us and discover how enjoyable slow dancing can be! 💃🕺
