My daughter has had lessons at Urban Vibez Studio for the past 8 years and it’s safe to say that we are well and truly part of the UV family. The school is so welcoming and everyone is very supporting of each other. The dance teachers are excellent in what the do, they’re patient and passionate and really want the best for the children. My daughter’s confidence and dance abilities have come on over the years and she now dances in one of the crew teams and she loves competing. Jade, her team and the children put on fabulous dance shows every year which the children thoroughly enjoy. Not only th— Jodie Forester
15 months ago my daughter decided she wanted to change dance schools and we moved to Urban Vibezs It was the best decision we ever made. Jade and all the dancers made her feel so welcome from the offset. She has gone from strength to strength and her confidence has improved exponentially. It is just lovely to watch her. The opportunities Jade gives the dancers are amazing Workshops with great dancers, theatre shows and competitions!

The usual route is a beginner group class where you learn one or two dances, such as a waltz or a social foxtrot, from the ground up. No partner or experience is needed to begin; it is best to contact the studio about which sessions are open to newcomers.
Many people start with the waltz because its steady three-beat rhythm makes the timing easy to feel. A social foxtrot or the lively cha-cha are also common first choices, depending on what a class is teaching that term.
Salsa's basic step is straightforward and most beginners are moving to music quickly. The layers of timing and turns take longer, which is where regular classes pay off.
Yes, beginner classes are built for people who have never danced. The key is simply turning up and letting the structure carry you through the basics.
Five staples are the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Line dances chain these together into repeating patterns.
Short, looping dances built on grapevines and step-touches are the gentlest introduction. Simple classic routines of that style suit first-timers well.
