The Social Dance Package teaches the five most common dances to get you through functions and social commitments such as: weddings, engagements, balls, dinner dances, anniversaries, etc. Suitable for singles or couples. We don’t try to make you into Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers overnight, but we do use easy and effective techniques to teach you the basic moves to the Waltz, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, partnered Disco swing and romantic Rumba – five basic dances to help you survive and further enjoy all social commitments.

All dance classes are active and therefore you must bring to the attention of the tutor any physical or health-related impairment that may affect your safety.
Please note: It is the mission of Sydney Community College to provide quality, accessible education and training. Our commitment to improve the quality of all courses we offer is on going. This extends to ensuring the safety of all our students and we therefore require you to complete the following Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). If you enrol by phone a PAR-Q will be sent with your enrolment confirmation. If you enrol on-line please download a PAR-Q form from the ‘more’ section (under forms) on the home page or see the attachment below.
For all courses involving physical activity you must arrive by the published course commencement time or the tutor may refuse to admit you into the session. The agenda for many courses involving physical activity starts with an OH&S briefing and/or a warm up and to miss either may create a hazard to you, which might exclude you from participation for the session.
PLS NOTE: All classes need a minimum number of students to go ahead. If your course does not have enough students it will be cancelled and you will be informed.***Please be aware that you may be informed of a cancellation &/or change via SMS or E-mail.
