THE BEST AROUND!!
I can't recommend SCDC enough! My daughter started there last year doing drama and absolutely loves it, shes made friends and has grown from being a shy timid little girl to having enough confidence to always wanting to be centre of attention! She loves it so much, she wanted to do more classes so She now does musical theatre too!
The shows are phenomenal, the awards ceremonies are amazing and even the events that Katie organises for the children are fantastic! The staff go above and beyond to look after the kids and to help, always so friendly and welcoming, no matter what c— Vikki Currall

My little girl has been coming to the dance school from about the age of 2 and a half years, she has taken part in a number of events including the dance show which was amazing. I’m not sure who enjoy’s it most if I’m honest. As a parent I was offered the opportunity to chaperone which was a great experience. Haven’t braved an adult class yet, but you never know!
We have been made to feel really welcome by Katie and team at SCDC. My little girl attends toddler ballet, tap and street dance and is really loving them all, the dance teachers are amazing, the venue is lovely. I am kept informed ab— Keelie Heath

Amazing dance school!

After stopping dancing 10 years ago due to the studio I went closing, I never thought I would get the opportunity to dance again, I tried a few classes elsewhere but it just didn’t feel the same .

I saw the adults class advertised on Facebook and thought I would give it a go and I have not looked back since. Taking class on my own is something I never would have dreamed of, but Katie and the team made me feel so welcome.

The opportunities available for all ages is amazing – I even got to take part in this years show which is something I definitely never thought I woul— Amelia Cartlidge

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

A beginners' group class is the natural first step, teaching the basic steps and hold from scratch. Further dances follow as your confidence grows.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

Many begin with the waltz for its steady rhythm, though a social foxtrot is another common opener. Your teacher will usually recommend a first dance to suit you.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

The basic step is quick to learn, so most beginners dance something recognisable early on. Fluency takes time, but the fast start keeps it enjoyable.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, beginner classes exist precisely for people who have never danced. No experience is assumed and the steps come gradually.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Typical basics include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and forward-and-back steps. Most line dances string a few together into a repeating pattern.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short routines with plenty of repetition are the friendliest starting point. A teacher can suggest an easy beginner dance to get you going.
