What Dancers Say About Forever Dance UK

5/5 from 26 Google reviews.

We have been dancing for over 5 years and tried many dance schools with little joy. I slowly lost my confidence as my husband progressed faster than me. Then we found FOREVER DANCE! We have been taught by Jeni who has patiently taught us to dance together as a couple and given us both great insight into new techniques as well as new steps. It has suddenly become far more enjoyable and we are improving as a couple! Their additional support since March 2020 has been incredible, constant zoom lessons with Richard, Jeni and now Jay. You feel part of a dance community! You won't find better— Jackie Turner

My partner and I took up dancing as a way to spend more time together; she has danced a fair amount previously, I haven’t and am your typical “two left feet” kind of guy. From uncertain beginnings (this was a valentines present that I knew she would like, but left me a little nervous) our weekly lessons have quickly become one of the highlights of our week. The instructors all go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at ease. The all have a tremendous amount of patience and are very supportive in their teaching styles. Having started as a sceptic, six months on and I’m really pleased w— Kai Shayler

We had the most amazing experience with Cansu who was truly wonderful at teaching us our first dance. My husband was initially really nervous about it all, but Cansu was so patient and understanding. We both smashed our dance and felt so confident.

For any couples worried about their dance you should definitely go to Forever Dance, they work within your dance level too.

Thanks Cansu we’re so grateful!

Online dance classes with Alex and Tomek have been great. They've given me a chance to really focus on my technique more than anything else which is exactly what I want to work on. Alex and Tomek have also been incredibly flexible to suit my needs which I really appreciate. Having the lessons has really raised my spirits during lockdown and gives me something to look forward to each week. Thank you everyone at FD!— Beth Hallowell
