What Dancers Say About dance4passion – Midlothian

5/5 from 3 Google reviews.

Once again, I have to write a few words in recognition and recommendation for dance4passion dance school aka Frederico and Nuno.

Four years ago I started taking Ballroom and Latin classes with these "characters" absolutely gloriously funny but professionals no end.

"Everyone in the world should dance" and trust me, they can teach anyone and everyone at every level how to dance. From beginner, novice or competition level…..there is always something new to be taught.

I danced this discipline many years ago and forgot just how much I loved it. One class and you will be hooked.

If like me— Ellen Caw

You need to get to these classes. Nuno and Frederico are wonderful teachers who make dancing so much fun and they are so patient. I've always loved dancing and they make it such a pleasure. Thanks guys.— E Buchan
