Dancers were examined at various levels, from Beginner to Level 3 and Van Eck was delighted with all the results. Mann commented that he was very pleased with the quality of dancing produced from the dancers, as they performed dances such as the Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Rumba, Jive, Boogie, Mambo and Cha Cha.
“Ballroom dancing teaches creativity, expression, confidence, discipline, etiquette, adaptability, quick thinking and social skills, as well as being a great form of exercise and stress release,” Van Eck said. “It’s a useful skill and although taught at a social level, receiving an internationally recognised certificate is an additional achievement for students.”
Van Eck teaches Ballroom and Latin American dancing. He teaches at the schools in the afternoons and private individuals, couples or groups in the evenings.
