Thursday Night Timetable

​​

7.15 - 8.15pm: Level 2 Class

​​

8.15 - 9.15pm: Level 2/3 Open Practice

Open practice is a space where dancers can practice anything - moves you've recently learned, a technique you’ve not quite got the hang of, and even teaching!

 

Open practice sometimes starts with a 15 minute "mini-lesson" delivered by one or more of our aspiring teachers, as described in our route to teaching. After the mini-lesson (or in place of it), we will provide a volunteer DJ to fill the room with great tunes.

​

9.15 - 10pm: Social Dancing

45 minutes of social dancing for all levels, with tunes provided by our volunteer DJ team.

​

10pm 'till late: Social drinks in the pub

We usually head to The Antiquary, 72-78 St Stephen St, Edinburgh EH3 5AQ.

​

Private Classes​

 

​ESDS does not currently facilitate private classes. We can suggest teachers, but private classes are negotiated between individual dancers and teachers.

​​

What should I wear / bring to class?​

​

We recommend:

  • Flexible, well-ventilated clothes.

  • An extra top or two to change into once you get sweaty.

  • F​lat-soled sneakers with a slippery sole. Keds, Toms, Converse, older Puma Suedes and older Adidas Gazelles work well.

  • A water bottle

  • Deodorant
