Social dance is the programme that rewards regularity more than any other except conditioning, and regularity is exactly what a drive erodes. For Weymouth residents the studio is inside the town, which makes an open-ended weekly slot a realistic commitment rather than one that quietly lapses in November.

## The programme that only works if you keep coming

Wedding couples have a date, which does the motivating for them. Social dance has no deadline, and that is its weakness as a habit: nothing goes wrong if you skip a fortnight, and then a fortnight becomes the spring. What actually produces a competent social dancer is a modest amount of instruction sustained over months — the material is not hard, but it has to be repeated until the feet stop needing the brain. Being able to get to the studio in a few minutes is not a small convenience for this programme. It is close to the whole difference between the people who end up dancing at weddings and the people who took some lessons once.

## Starting solo, and what that actually looks like

A good share of the people who take social dance start on their own, either because their partner is not interested or because there is no partner. Lessons work perfectly well that way: frame, balance, timing and the mechanics of leading or following are all taught solo, and the figures are learned with the instructor. What you cannot practise alone is the negotiation with an unfamiliar partner, which is why the lessons build toward being able to dance with someone who has not learned your routine — the actual skill social dance is for.
