Jack is THE most excellent dance teacher! He has passion, dedication and outstanding professional experience which he is willing to share with us on a weekly basis making lessons fun, motivating and really productive.

Since starting both private and group classes with Jack I have found myself progressing rapidly in ballroom and latin dancing from previously having no experience in either. As a musical theatre student I wanted to expand my skill set and Jack was definitely the right teacher to choose. I had previously worked with him on a dance show and therefore knew of both his teaching style, level of professionalism and his credentials in the industry and he certainly hasn't disappointed in this new setting. His group classes are accessible to all ages (with me being the youngest at 18) and have a war— Rory Sutherland

Jack Murphy is an inspirational teacher.His depth of subject knowledge, and his ability to deliver a great experience in a relaxed learning environment will be outstanding. His energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and within minutes of your first meeting you will be relaxed, encouraged and comfortable within yourself, and the group you are dancing with. The atmosphere is positive and proactive. Jack's style of teaching is thorough and encouraging. If you want to learn all the basics of ballroom and latin dancing, but you are anxious with your two left feet, or you are shy and out of your comf— S Marty

After I retired as an athlete i was looking for something to replace my long career in sport.
I went to Jack's class over 5 years ago. I had never danced before and started in his beginner's class. He is a brilliant dancer and great motivator for dance. His knowledge is second to none, his classes are well structured to the needs of the group. I continue to have regularly group lessons and private lessons and cannot believe that I can actually dance, but I could not have done this without the continued support and work from Jack. Strictly eat your heart out.— Caroline Charles
