Many people take their first dance lesson in their fifties.  It&#8217;s a challenge, there is a lot to learn, and it will take a year or two before you feel really confident, but you&#8217;ll find that other people love to see you learning, and they are willing to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many excellent dance teachers in Canterbury, and we encourage you to take lessons.  But if that&#8217;s all you do learning will be slow, because you need a place to practice what you are learning.
