Questions
Before your first dance
Any other questions? Email info@estrelladance.com or on Instagram @estrelladanceuk.
Do I need a partner?
No. Most people come on their own, and partners change during the class so everyone dances together.
I have never danced. Can I come?
Yes. Beginner classes start from the very first step, and your instructor will support you at your own pace.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever you feel comfortable dancing in. Shoes with a smooth sole that turn easily work best, because trainers with heavy grip make turns harder.
How do I book?
Each event books differently, and the details are on its event page. For classes, register your interest on this page and we’ll email you when booking opens.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Read our cancellation and refund policy. For anything else, email info@estrelladance.com.
How long does it take to learn?
Most beginners can dance the basics at a social after a few weeks of classes. Feeling at home on the dance floor usually takes a few months of regular practice. Coming every week matters more than talent.
Can I practise at home without a partner?
Yes. Timing, footwork and posture can all be practised alone. The Estrella Dance App gives you short drills between classes, and feedback from your instructor with Social and Coaching, coming soon.
