What Dancers Say About Danceworld

5/5 from 10 Google reviews.

My 7yo has attended for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys her dance lessons. The teachers know the children very well and give them opportunities to complete exams when they are ready. The best part was the show at the Towngate last summer – such a professional production and the children got so many new experiences from it. Highly recommend this dance school.— H Stapleton

Great dance school. My daughter does ballet, tap, modern, street and musical theatre, and I go along for adult tap. Recently put on a fantastic show and really care about doing the best for the children. Highly recommended!— Ellie Matthewman

Great Dance school with classes in all dance disciplines and musical theatre. Kids who are interested in entering competions can also have private lessons to learn solos/duets.— Gill Swann

Lovely dance school, loads of different classes for everyone. Both my girls love coming to dancing every week— demi- leanne Ruff

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Start with a beginners' class where the teacher introduces hold, timing and a few basic steps. No partner or experience is needed to begin.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common first choice because its slow rhythm is easy to follow. A livelier Latin style is another good starting point, and staff can advise.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is very approachable at beginner level once you get used to the basic timing, and most people are dancing simple moves within a few classes. Like any style, fluency comes with regular practice.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Absolutely. Salsa classes are designed for complete beginners, and you certainly do not need a dance background to start enjoying it.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Typical basics include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. These combine into full routines.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Routines built mainly on grapevines and step-touches are the gentlest to start with. The teacher adds turns once the basics feel comfortable.
