What Dancers Say About Britannia Dance – Bristol

5/5 from 7 Google reviews.

An excellent set of classes for all levels from beginners to advanced at a very convenient location. Friendly, welcoming and supportive instructor(s) that will teach you the steps bit by bit and then help you work on homing technique so it looks and feels brilliant when you dance. They are always happy to show you a little bit again if you didn't get it the first few times and will work with you until you've nailed it. A variety of dances means you'll never get bored, and the routines are advanced and exciting enough to make you feel like you're on Strictly without being really hard to pick up— John P

I've been attending Britannia Dance in Bristol for a few years now and really enjoy Sam and Martina's teaching. They have a really nice mix, teaching moves, looking at technique and making sure no-one is ever left behind. You can come on your own or as a couple, the classes are quite small which means Sam and Martina have time to iron out any difficulties anyone may have, most importantly everyone is friendly and we have fun.— Hannah Freeman

Lin and I have been attending the Intermediate class at Emerson's Green since the start of this year. The class is fun and challenging giving us the chance to improve on the basic ballroom moves we have in a friendly and non-critical environment. Sam and his partner are excellent at the position and hold demonstration in addition to the actual steps being taken.— Tony Fuge
