What Dancers Say About BJM DANCE

5/5 from 7 Google reviews.

We joined the class in Cumnock 4 weeks ago and we are really enjoying it. We were made to feel welcome and were instantly put at ease by Brian and Janet as soon as we walked through the door. Both are excellent in the delivery of their teaching and are extremely helpful and patient with us especially when we haven’t quite gotten a hang of the steps and need to be shown a few more times! We are loving our new found hobby! We would recommend this class to anyone who has an interest in learning how to dance. Cha cha cha!— G&C Thomson

Mark and I have absolutely loved this class since we started going 1 year ago. We started as complete novices and are amazed at the progress we have made. Brian and Janet teach so well with no pressure and make it great fun for the whole class. We've made lots of friends and really look forward to going each week.— Moira Kelly

Have been going for a year now and are thoroughly enjoying learning to dance. Very, very patient teachers who take us through step by step and we learn at our own pace. A friendly relaxed class for beginners or those who want to progress a bit more. Keeps you fit and better than the gym any day!— Margaret Duncan

Joined to learned how to dance properly for our Silver Wedding and 1 year later still going as thoroughly enjoying the experience and the company of those who attend. Alternative fitness option which is definitely more fun.— Barbara Harrigan
