Ballroom Dance with Production Cast

[Scottishclover]

Has anyone participated in this activity? I wanted to try it on our last cruise but it clashed with Zumba. Hoping to give it a go on the Beyond in the summer.
I’d really like to know 

1) what type of ballroom dancing?

2) if you need to bring a partner? ( my husband is not a dancer)

3)is it fine if you are a novice? I’m just back from a swing dance workshop and it’s safe to say I’m no expert!

Thanks

Many types, waltz one day, fox trot the next. No partner needed.  It’s designed for beginners.

This is a 30 minute class where dance troupe members teach you three or four basic patterns.  If you do not have a partner, we found that they just matched you with another single.  As a social ballroom dancer, I am impressed that they can do four patterns in half an hour.

Back in the day, Princess used to bring in couples who were ballroom dancers to teach the classes. I'm a ballroom dancer, and while I think they do a decent job with the patterns, it's clear that's all they know, ie no technique, but technique is mostly not necessary in these classes.
