Dance classes
What classes do you give?
Do I need to have prior experience in dance?
No, you don’t need to have any experience, all you need is the ability to move your feet and you’re ready to go! The courses are divided in different levels, so you can choose which level seems right for you at that point. If you’re not sure what level you’re on? Don’t hesitate to walk in and have a look, maybe ask the teacher.

The lessons are also integrated into our Calendar, but in case of irregularities, the schedule of the USC is leading.
Where are the dance classes?
The classes are given at the University Sports Centre Leiden – or USC for short. The address is Einsteinweg 6, 2333 CC Leiden.
How can I participate in the classes?
To participate in the social dance classes, you need to enroll in the course. This doesn’t cost you anything extra, a USC subscription is enough. Enrollment can be done here.
DISCLAIMER: Due to the Corona crisis, enrollment currently works a little differently. You can still enroll via dmsonline, but enrollment is mandatory for each individual class and can only be done five days in advance. Enrollment can now also be done in the My USC Leiden sports app for Android or Apple.
What do I need for the classes?
Don’t worry, you don’t need to buy expensive shoes and fancy dresses. You don’t need to wear sports clothing per se either. Just something comfortable that you can move in will do.
