According to the BULABDS webpage (http://www.bulabds.co.uk/social.html) it is every Tuesday but when I came on the demostraton section (8th of Oct.) I think that I have heard that on Tuesday there are lessons for the ones that want to enter the team for competitions and on Thursday there is a lesson for the beginners in latin at 8pm... I am a bit confused since from what I can see the BULABDS webpage has some sections that are 'out of date' and maybe the page I have checked is also one of them... Anyone knows and can help me please? Rolling Eyes

First of all, let me try to clarify this:

Social classes are on Tuesdays. These are no-strings-attached classes, no particular commitment asked of you. For the 1st 5 weeks, social classes will be beginners classes, i.e. only some basic routines will be taught. Eventually, once some of you are feeling a little more confident, these Tuesday classes will be expanded to beginners & intermedate levels.

Beginners TEAM classes are for those who have never danced before but would like to have a go at COMPETITIVE dancing. You'll be going to a few inter-varsity competitions (mostly next term), competing against people in the same situation as you - never danced before. To do this you'll be trained by 3 additional teachers, in a smaller class, so will get more attention and learn a little more technique. You will be required to put quite a bit of effort and commitment, as you will be carrying the University name across the country. These classes will be on Mondays (7.30-9.30pm) AND Thursdays (8-10pm). All sounds a little scary but I can guarantee most of you will love it.

Hope that helps!

So if we have danced before we cannot enter the team, eh! Razz Wink

To tell you the truth that team classes would be interesting but since i'm doing a master degree i don't think i'll manage... Rolling Eyes (not to say that i'll probably confuse the movements with the cuban-salsa style movements i know.. Embarassed )

I think i'll go next Tuesday to see what is going on... Thanks a lot for clarifing my question! Wink

Cheers to all!

Actually, if you've only danced salsa before, you're still a beginner in ballroom / latin dancing. In fact, it doesn't matter if you are a world-champion at freestyle disco or have trained in ballet for 20 years, as long as you have never taken lessons in ballroom / latin (10 dances), then you are still a beginner by that definition.

No argument in that! Wink
