Go ahead, try something new!
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
- Louis E. Boone
- What Is LeRoc?
LEROC is a fusion of jive and latin dance styles, great fun and easy to learn. LEROC - aka 'modern jive' - is one of the most popular forms of partner dancing in the UK today. More than just a dance class, it's a great social night out too! Check out a brief video of LEROC dancing
- Do I need to bring a partner?
You can if you wish, but it's not necessary because the classes are organised in such a way that you'll practice with many different partners throughout the evening. Come on your own / bring a partner / group of friends, it doesn't matter.
- What should I wear (clothes/shoes)?
It's generally advisable to wear shoes with a non-grippy sole that allow you to turn, spin and move around easily on the dance floor. Also light clothing which allows you to move freely and keep cool. If you really work up a sweat you might want a spare top / deodorant.
- Is it necessary to book in advance?
No. LEROC isn't run as a course, so there's no booking or enrolling to be done. You simply turn up, ready for 8pm. Every week a number of complete beginners turn up, hence we always run a beginners class.
- What does it cost?
A midweek class night is £7.00 for the whole evening, which includes the beginner class, the intermediate class (or beginners coaching session) and dance practice time (the 'freestyle' session). A great value night out!
- Who can attend a LEROC night?
Complete beginners, people with two left feet, in fact practically anyone aged 18 or over who's reasonably fit can attend a LEROC night. If you're unsure about your fitness please consult your GP.
- What kind of music is played?
The music played on a LEROC night is an uplifting selection covering many different musical genres, including Modern Pop, Rock, Latin, Disco, Soul, Swing, Rock & Roll. Artists include Enrique Iglesias, Caro Emerald, Michael Buble, Elvis Presley, Chic… and so many more!
- Do I have to become a member?
At present we do not require you to become a member.
| 7.45pm ‑8pm | Arrive, chat - get a drink and get ready |
| 8pm ‑8.40pm | Beginners class. Get up, join in and learn 3 or 4 easy moves. Don't forget there will be other complete beginners in the very same class so you won't be on your own! |
| 8.40pm ‑9pm | Break. Practise those moves you've just learnt while the DJ spins a few tunes. |
| 9pm ‑9.40pm | Beginner's practice session. A team of friendly LEROC coaches is usually on hand for a brief recap of the moves you learnt earlier in the evening. |
| Intermediate class. After you've done 5 or 6 beginner classes you'll have the confidence and skills to have a go at some more exciting and interesting moves to add variety and style to your dancing. | |
| 9.40pm ‑11pm | Freestyle. Lights down, music up, and hit the floor for over an hour of dancing to the best in LEROC music. This is where the real fun happens, so get up and have a go! |
