What Dancers Say About Dance Chelmsford UK

4.8/5 from 35 Google reviews.

My husband and I have been having lessons with Dance Chelmsford UK for 9 years and haven’t looked back since. Our daughter has also been dancing with them for over 10 years. I can’t praise them highly enough. The teachers Jen and Chloe are amazing; their love of dance shines through everything they do and the family feel they bring to the school is felt by all. From someone who’s biggest fear was speaking or performing in front of people, I’ve performed in shows, danced in competitions, achieved honours in dance exams and even danced at Blackpool. This is all thanks to the patience and excelle— Kerry Yates

I have been attending this dance school for over 12 years and have enjoyed every minute. Our main teacher has been Cloe and she is an excellent teacher. Her patience is limitless . She is prepared to explain and demonstrate the same step repeatedly until I get it right. I have a private lesson with my husband and she has encouraged and praised both of us. She makes it fun too!
She supported our wish to dance in Blackpool and encouraged us to take an exam so that we could compete in a competition at The winter Gardens. A brilliant experience.

We first encountered Cloe when our teenage daughter expressed an interest in learning to dance. Thanks to recommendations we ended up sending her to the dance school where Cloe was her teacher. As it was a car drive to take our daughter I often ended up staying to watch before driving her home. As a school teacher myself I immediately recognised in Cloe a natural teacher who even at an early age knew instinctively the value of positive encouragement. The end result is that not only did our daughter have many years of pleasure from her lessons with Cloe we also started dance lessons when she — colin hogan

I started private Latin & Ballroom lessons with Jen about 18 months ago, after years of watching Strictly and wanting to learn to dance. I remember coming out of my very first lesson with the biggest grin on my face after learning my first waltz and cha cha steps and feeling like a dancer already! When I began learning I registered my interest in working towards exams, but didn’t want to commit to competitions or shows as I’ve never felt like a natural performer and I’m really not a naturally confident person, but fast forward 18 months and I’ve not only passed all my Intro exams but I’ve comp— Katherine Harrison

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

A beginners' group class is the natural way in, teaching the hold, timing and a first few steps slowly. No partner or experience is needed, and the school can advise which session suits an absolute beginner.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first choice for its steady three-beat rhythm, with the social foxtrot another gentle option. Both help you settle into partnering before quicker styles.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is approachable for beginners, built on a simple weight-change step over eight counts. A structured class makes the timing far easier to pick up than learning alone.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, beginner salsa classes are designed for people with no background, and most attendees start from scratch. The teaching begins with the very basics.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, adults take up ballet regularly and improve with steady practice. Starting at a genuine beginner level lets the fundamentals be learned in the right order.

What age is too late to start ballet?

For recreational ballet there is no age too late, and people begin well into adulthood. Consistency matters more than the age you start.
