Bishopsgate Ballroom - Autumn/Winter 24-25
We break the ice and get ourselves warmed up at the start of the evening with a short solo routine based on one of the Latin or Ballroom dances, led by teacher and raconteur extraordinaire Nick Miles (Star Dance Club, London Globe), who will then play the best Ballroom and Latin tunes to get you on the floor and keep you there.
We want our evenings to be truly social, ensuring all newcomers and regulars feel at home and get to dance, whether or not they bring a partner.
That’s why there will be dance hosts at every Bishopsgate Ballroom. Look out for these friendly faces, ready to welcome you and help you get on the floor. Whether you’ve come alone or with a group, everyone’s welcome to dance with our hosts. Now there’s no reason to be a wallflower, unless you want to be…
Please note that our Christmas Ball will be on Saturday 7 December this year, and runs for an extra half an hour.
