I haven't been here for years! I loved it and am so disappointed with myself for quitting because 3 friends I used to bring along quit 😔 Honestly… dancing at the N.I.A was thr moment of my life at just aged 9! (Almost 11 years ago) It's cozy and Frankie(?) Frances(?) is 🤩😍 The teachers were IT. I have been trying to find my old school for years now but as a kid, not known the name of it. Thank god to people filming our NIA performance and putting it on YouTube. I wish to come back so bad but have no transport 😖 I would 100% recommend. Kids LOVE this dance school.

I go there every Sunday at 11.30 to do salsa and I love it. Great teacher and definitely a friendly environment, would recommend it as it's for all ages— Justin Gayle
Salsa's basic timing is easy to pick up, so most beginners are moving to the music in their first lesson. The finer turns and partnerwork develop with practice.
Yes, beginners' salsa classes are designed for people with no dance background. The steps are broken down and taught gradually.
It is, and adult ballet is a great way to build posture and control later in life. Classes begin from the fundamentals at a comfortable pace.
For enjoyment and steady improvement, no age is too late to start. Only a professional career depends on beginning young.
Typical moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Line dances simply recombine these familiar steps.
Dances with short, repeating patterns are the easiest to begin with as the sequence comes back quickly. Ask the centre which routine best suits a beginner.
