Cheek2Cheek is a non-profit making social dance club for the LGBTQ community and was originally set up in 1998. Our aim is to provide a relaxed and friendly environment in which people can learn to dance and also socialise.
We cover many Ballroom and Latin dances including Quickstep, Waltz, Social Foxtrot, Jive and Tango through to, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Salsa and Samba. We also learn sequence dances and line dances on a regular basis. Please see the Dance Diary for full details.
Following the most recent government advice on containing the virus, it is with some sadness that we have to inform you that C2C classes have been postponed for the foreseeable future. We will keep you updated by e-mail as matters progress.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss this further,
Many thanks
Angela & The C2C Committee
Classes start at 7.30 and end at 9.30 for all and are suitable for beginners and improvers alike.
We change the dances every fortnight and learn 2 dances. The first class is 7.30-8.20 followed by refreshments for 20 mins then the second class from 8.40-9.30. During the 20 min break there will be music to practice what has just been learnt.
You do not need to have any experience and you don't need to bring a partner. Absolute beginners are always welcome, it's very much a club not a competition! For dancers who are at improver level this is an opportunity to polish your technique and maybe try taking the opposite role (lead or follow) to broaden your skills on the dance floor.
Classes are cancelled until further notice
