Some of my best nights out have been spent at this well-kept secret in Scotstoun. There are regular dance classes where people of all ages can come to learn from some of the best teachers in Scotland (disciplines include flamenco, tango and tribal fusion belly dance), not to mention special showcases and workshops where performers from all around the world come to ply their trade. If you're an adventurous class attendee you may even get the chance to strut your stuff! Add to this great value, authentic Spanish food (Canarian potatoes come especially recommended) and a wonderful friendly atmosp— Roberta Curtis

A Very Exhilarating and relaxing Dance school in Glasgow. It's great to come to a place that feels like home. I enjoyed how I could join dance classes and have the social aspect of having dinner with my friends downstairs in the cafe La bodega. The staff are very friendly and the whole place makes you feel like one big family. Would highly recommend it to everyone as there is something for all ages – love it

I've been dancing at Dance With Attitude since November 2012 and I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism and knowledge of the staff. I was extremely nervous, naturally, on my first night but the students and teacher made me feel very welcome.

I've learned so much already and have even taken part in a show! There's loads to get involved in, so if you are swithering give it a go – I swear you won't be disappointed! 🙂— KRS Secretarial

Love this place! Great opportunity to try out a few different dance styles (the tribal belly dancing on a Monday is brilliant!). The food is delicious and the staff are very helpful and friendly. They also put on some very good dance showcases. Cannot recommend this place enough!— Kelly Gardner

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many of the styles taught here, such as flamenco and belly dance, are danced solo, and even partnered dances start with individual practice. You are very welcome to come on your own.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move freely in and soft shoes are ideal. Some styles have their own footwear, so it is worth asking once you have chosen a class.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices depend on the style and whether you pay per class or book ahead. Contact the school for current rates and the options available.

Which dance is best for beginners?

With such a range on offer, the best choice comes down to what appeals to you most. The teachers can suggest a beginner-friendly class based on your interests.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

Adults do well with almost any style if they enjoy it, from the expressive to the sociable. Trying a class is the surest way to find your fit, so ask about beginner sessions.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Light dancing can be gentle exercise for some, but anyone with a heart condition should check with their GP or specialist first. Tell the teacher of any health concerns so activity stays comfortable.
