About Caroline Coomber

Caroline Coomber Caroline is a full time professional dance teacher based in the North East of Scotland, specialising in Ballroom, Latin American, and Sequence Dance. She is qualified to Licentiate level with the United Kingdom Alliance of Professional Teachers of Dance (UKA) and Associate level with the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA). She runs classes and sessions (private lessons and practice sessions) in Elgin, Lossiemouth, and Nairn, and holds regular Social Dance events. For four years she was Tutor at the prestigious Northern Dance Club in Aberdeen. She is available for private tuition and for working with wedding couples on their First Dance, and provides tuition for those wishing to do medal work and competition work.

She has had the privilege of being asked to judge at Dancesport Scotland Competitions and has also judged in the North East of England.

People of all ages attend her sessions, and all levels of ability are taught from the complete Beginner to the Intermediate dancer.

Caroline has been dancing since she was three years old and was taught Latin American and Ballroom dancing by John Cunningham in Elgin for many years. It's to him that she owes her progression on to teaching, which has been a life changing experience for her. Alan Millar, Fellow of the UKA and Kim Devine, Fellow and Examiner of the IDTA have also been key in Caroline’s Development as a Dance Teacher, putting her through further professional examinations in Ballroom, Latin American and Classical Sequence to Licentiate Level.

The Classes (in Elgin, Lossiemouth, and Nairn) and Workshops are fun and informal and people are made to feel very welcome, but at the same time a serious amount of work is covered. People attending for the first time will be surprised at how quickly they will be dancing. Steps are shown slowly and in detail, starting with the basics, and as these are mastered, you progress onto learning routines. As you get more confident, more challenging choreography can be taught.

This type of dance is a great way of keeping fit, toning up, improving posture, increasing confidence and meeting new friends. You take from it what you want, whether it be learning just a few simple steps so you can dance socially, or moving into Medal work and/or Competition work, it's entirely up to you. For some people it can be a life changing experience.

Social get-togethers are arranged on a regular basis, and there are Practice Sessions available which give you the opportunity to try out what you've been learning in class. It gives you the chance to meet and observe other dancers also.

Dances taught are Modern Waltz, Slow Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, and Jive, which are the ten Dancesport dances, as well as Classical and Modern Sequence, Rock 'n' Roll and Belly Dance.
