What if I'm a beginner or returning to dance?
Tell Lorette about your experience when you enquire. You can choose Complete beginner, Some experience, Returning dancer, Intermediate or Advanced on the form. These options help start the conversation; they aren't separate scheduled classes.
For clothing or footwear advice before your first class, call Lorette on +27 83 238 5064.
Can we prepare for our wedding dance?
Yes. Many couples come to Lorette to prepare for their wedding dance. Preparation is part of Ballroom, Mondays and Wednesdays, 18:30–19:15 SAST, not a separate service.
Choose Ballroom on the enquiry form and tick “Preparing for a wedding?” You can then share your wedding date, both partners' names and an optional song.
What if I have an injury or health condition?
Please read the full safety notice on the Classes page before signing up. It also appears directly above the required safety tick on the form.
Tell Lorette in person or by phone before class. Please don't put injury or health details on the form.
Does sending the form book my place?
No. It's an enquiry, not a confirmed booking. Lorette will be in touch to discuss the arrangements. You won't receive an automatic reply email.
