Beginner classes are held every Monday from 11.30am until 12noon and the cost is £1.25 per session.The photos below show some of the Belly Dancers during a recent performance at Ellesmere Port Fire Station Open Day. These dancers have been attending the weekly class at the centre for over twelve months and had no prior experience of belly dancing. As a result of attending these classes the dancers have performed a number of demonstrations over the past few months and have proved very popular. These ladies attend the intermediate class, which is held every Monday from 12noon to 1pm and is £2.50 per class.

Salsa Dancing
Salsa dancing is a new activity to the centre for 2006. The first six-week course was held earlier in the year and some members of the group went on to sit their first Salsa exam. All of the ladies did fantastically well and passed with flying colours. If exams are not your thing then you can just come along to the class for your own enjoyment. The classes are taught by Sandy Wilks who is pictured below with the successful students.If you are interested in attending a beginners class please contact the centre to register your interest.
