Dance Classes at GingerFred...
Hello!
Welcome to the GingerFred website!
I'm Lou and I run GingerFred Dance Studio in Langport, Somerset. The studio offers DanceFit classes and social dance lessons for anyone aged 16+
The DanceFit classes run all through the week from 4pm and would suit anyone wanting to get FITTER, STRONGER, MORE FLEXIBLE AND INCREASE STAMINA. They are extremely popular with women 40+ who love MUSIC, COMMUNITY AND CHALLENGE!
The Social Dancing lessons are popular with couples. Mostly private lessons but we will be introducing group lessons and socials during the Summer months. The styles taught are Waltz & Argentine Tango.
These lessons suit absolute beginners and are brilliant for giving you a shared dancing experience as a couple - and something to learn together that is fun and physical and you can even practice at home!
If you are new to GingerFred and want to join a class or book a private lesson just browse this website and then hit the button GET IN TOUCH above or email from here....I can't wait to meet you!
Lou

What is in the class and what will it cost.....
Private DanceFit lesson - £30 for 50 minutes
This private lesson focuses on all the important elements of a DanceFit lesson but is tailor-made totally for you. Working with Louise in the studio by yourself this 1-2-1 will focus on stamina, flexibilty, getting out of breath, coordination and balance - working with you at your pace...a great way to focus on yourself in a quieter less social lesson.
Couples social dance 1 couple - £40 per hour
Many couples have already made strong in-roads to becoming crafted at their chosen social dance - this slot allows them to once again enjoy the challenge and pleasure of dancing together as a couple. The popular styles at the studio are waltz, Argentine Tango and Foxtrot...if you haven't had a couples lesson before but feel now is the time to do something special together whilst learning a new skill - get in touch!
Couples sharing the lesson: distancing - £50 between 2 couples
If 2 couples are learning the same dance style with the size of the studio it is possible to teach 2 couples at the same time as they work on their own craft. This helps keep the cost down and give you chance to see what others are working on.
DanceFit Small group class - £45 for six sessions
I could go on and on about this class....I love it and never tire of finding new ways to teach the many women (men welcome but we don't have any!) who commit with passion to this class. It focuses on people in their 40's up but we do have some younger members who love the hits from the 50's, 60,s and up...and that is what makes this class so special - the music; lovingly picked with each exercise in mind, it is like a Desert Island Disc for dance.
The class wants you to improve your stamina, flexibility, posture, muscle strength, brain and body relationship, elevation, backward motion and twist - this is not the end of the list but I will run out of space...women do this class to feel good about who they are NOW. The social element is also important and we all have a little chuckle together. But we work VERY HARD to push our boundaries of habit - with deep explanation and correction to avoid any injuries.
If you are serious about improving core strength, balance and flexibility mixed with feeling GOOD because you are noticed and you are part of a team...this is for you - serious to commit folk only need apply!
Get in touch today...
Please email me with the session slot you would like to join.
Thinking of joining us?
Thank you for your interest in joining one of our popular adult classes. This page gives you information about how to join and class content; plus a little bit about the weekly running of the studio.
Found a slot available that suits you? What to do next:
Before the virus outbreak GingerFred Dance Studio was very busy and some of the Adult DanceFit classes catered for 15 dancers at a time - it was easy to join; you just turned up and could also swap classes if you weren't able to make your own class...imagine!
But with the new 'normal' comes some positive improvements and yet some tighter restrictions.
DANCEFIT - We are following Government guidelines and are hoping to welcome new members to the group classes at the end of Spring. The studio has been refurbished during lockdown and the dance space is now even bigger to allow for safe spacing during class!
The music is the drive in this class and the tunes are EVERYTHING fabulous from the 50's, 60' up - classical, nostalgic, cinematic and funky...pitched perfectly for women in their 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's! We all know how this joyous music drives us to dance better thus get fitter. The ages are mixed but more women are in their 50's and 60's. We require no dance experience - that's my job to give you that! More info can be found on the COST AND CLASS OUTLINE page following the link above.
If after reading all the above you are still keen to join us (and I hope you are!) then I must stress that regular attendance is really important - we have a scheme of a 'swap shop' so if you know you are going to be away or suddenly fall ill; you will be able to put your name down for someone else's slot who has also missed one...but if someone is missing regularly - without good reason; due to the sheer volume of people wanting to dance we will have to refund you and give your slot to a waiting customer.
I hate to be so clear but we are a studio of 'keen bean' dancers and due to the restricted size of classes I need to make sure all newcomers are wanting to be 'keen beans' too!!
If that all appeals - send me your desired class via GET IN TOUCH above and I will email you as soon as I can with more information.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Like DanceFit, regular commitment is key to committing to a spot. Once you see a slot that you like just get in touch. I can teach most social dances to beginners and focus is on 'lead and follow' and tuning in to each other to problem solve the dance together.
The emphasis is on bringing you to dance together as a couple and how a partnership is essential to executing steps fluidly. See more info at the COST AND CLASS OUTLINE page by clicking on the link in the header.
