Can I learn how to dance?
Dancing is as easy as walking. At Freeman’s we break down the steps so that it is easy to learn and we also have staff and medallists there to help you so your not left on your own. There is no age limit no fitness level limit and you don’t need to bring a partner
Will it take long?
You will be able to dance in your first class. The length of your training depends on how many dances you would like to learn and how proficient you would like to become.
Is your system of teaching difficult?
Not at all. We receive many favourable comments on the way we teach because we make learning fun and easy with all the help you need.
How much do the classes cost and can I afford them?
We like to think that our classes are affordable to everyone. Classes are only $10 for adults and $8 for students with reductions for medallists and for regular attendance.
I have a pretty busy schedule, what if I miss a class?
Our classes don’t run on courses. It’s difficult at times for people to commit to consecutive weeks, so our Monday and Wednesday night classes is a beginners class all year around and you progress on from there. It does not matter if you miss a class as you will pick up anything you missed in later weeks and will not be disadvantaged.
Will I have a good teacher?
Ron is the principal of Freeman’s with over 30 years experience and oversees everyone’s work. Ron is accredited coach qualified adjudicator and a fully qualified professional dance teacher. Our medallists and staff train under Ron and use his teaching techniques.
How much help do I get in the class?
We pride ourselves on having a strong network of support, e.g. Staff and medallists. These dancers, both male and female, will help you as you move around the circle so that you are not left up to your own capabilities.
Do I have to bring a partner?
No, you don’t have to bring a partner but it can make you feel more at ease if you bring a friend.
If I don’t bring a partner will I have to do the male part?
Not very often would a female beginner have to do the male part, if at all. What we do is our staff and medallists ladies fill in and do the male part if we are short of men and if we are short of ladies our staff and medallists men will sit out the dance and move around the circle offering help to any one that needs it.
What Do I Wear?
Smart Casual Dress is acceptable. Men - Jeans or Trousers and a collared Shirt. Ladies - skirt or pants, which ever you are more comfortable wearing.
Shoes: Ladies, if you don’t normally wear high heels you don’t need to wear them; just wear anything that is comfortable for you. However, no thongs (because they fall off in the fast dances) and no joggers (because the rubber sole won’t allow you to easily turn on the floor). Something with a synthetic sole or hard rubber is good.
What benefits do I receive?
Dancing is your first line of social activity. You will meet heaps of great new friends. Good dancing is a lifetime investment in fun, coordination, poise, confidence, improved personality and new friends.
The ideal exercise, Stress reliever and it’s heaps of fun. With the pressures of job and social obligations tugging us every which way, it’s more and more difficult to find time for exercise. Maybe that’s why Australians are struggling with their health and weight more than ever.
It’s no secret that moderate exercises, and sensible eating habits, are the key to remaining trim and fit. However, the thought of spending 30 minutes on a treadmill, or jogging around the block five times is out of the question for many of us. Dancing works like a stress and tension reducer. For the people on a hectic schedule it can become a passion that helps you improve your attitude and increase your confidence in both social and business situations.
That’s what makes dance the ideal exercise! After all, dancing is a mild aerobic work out, minus the boring part! When you take dance lessons you make exercise a fun and enjoyable social event. Your dance “workout” takes place with popular music and everyone in a good mood. It’s fun.
Many people turn to dancing when the traditional exercise programs fall by the wayside, either because of injuries or sheer boredom, Dancing is a low impact activity. This makes it accessible to people of any age or fitness level. With less emphasis on “going for the burn” and more on having fun; the weight loss, improved circulation and aerobic conditioning emerges as a wonderful side effect. Freeman’s is only a phone call away …. So put some fun and fitness in your life and call now.
