Social Ice Dancing

Social Ice Dancing

Ice dancing began as a social activity – a way to bring ballroom dancing to the ice and enjoy skating with other people. It gradually developed into competitive and testing structures. But many people, especially adults, still enjoy social ice dancing. Without the pressure of testing or competing, it gives you the opportunity to relax and enjoy skating with others who share the same passion.

Many ice dancers say the experience of skating with different partners helps their own ice dancing improve, and you may find this a hidden benefit of attending social ice dance sessions – besides the obvious fun!

Social ice dance weekends and sessions are held in many places, and usually welcome all levels and abilities.
