Ballroom & Latin — Adults

About this activity

International Standard and Latin-American programme for adults: waltz, tango, foxtrot, samba, cha-cha, and rumba. Private and group formats from complete beginner to competitive level.

What to expect from dance classes

Dance classes in the UAE run 45–75 minutes depending on age and style. Classes follow a structured format: warm-up and stretching, technique work (barre exercises for ballet, isolations for hip-hop), choreography or creative work, and cool-down. Most academies hold an annual performance or recital — a genuine highlight for students and families. Dress codes vary by style: ballet typically requires leotard and soft shoes, while hip-hop and contemporary are more relaxed.

What to look for when choosing a provider

• Sprung or specialised dance floors that protect joints during jumps and turns
• Age-appropriate class sizes — no more than 10–12 for children under 7
• An inclusive culture that welcomes all body types, genders, and ability levels
