My daughter has been dancing with Fusion Dance school for 5 years now. She’s a shy, unassuming girl but when she does this class it brings out a side of confidence and happiest that really shines. The teachers have worked wonders with her and she’s even had a birthdays party set up by fusion at their studios. My youngest has also now joined and it’s great to see them at home wanting to practise their routine outside of the classes that they go to. The hard work and dedication of the teachers really pays off and you often see the young dancers still there into their teens. A great activity to g— Zoe Davis-Billing
Our 9 year old daughter has attended fusion Dance School since she was 4 and absolutely loves attending her classes every week. She enjoys competing at competitions which has built her confidence massively. Nicci is amazing with all her students, and although it's a very professional dance school, it's very homely and welcoming too which is just perfect. The amount of time spent in teaching all the routines is amazing, and the talent and creativity is something else. If you're considering it go for it, you won't regret it.— Zofija Wilson

Begin with a beginners' class where the hold and basic steps are taught from the ground up. Contact the school to ask which sessions welcome newcomers.
A slower dance with a simple rhythm, such as the waltz, is a gentle place to start. The teachers can recommend a first dance to suit you.
Line dancing uses moves like the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle, combined into routines. These are introduced one at a time in class.
Short, repetitive routines set to a steady beat are the easiest to pick up. Ask the school which dances it suggests for a first attempt.
Yes, many classes are danced solo or in a group, so you are welcome to come along on your own. Check which sessions best suit solo dancers.
Comfortable clothing and footwear appropriate to the style are all you need to start. If unsure, the school will happily advise.
