What Dancers Say About Surrey Ballroom and Pilates

5/5 from 4 Google reviews.

Really great dance lessons. A different dance every month, complete beginners, though to more advanced moves. My wife and I have taken dance lessons for several years and started Kyle's lessons about a year ago. Real improvement for us, Kylie explains all the steps, guides you through the technique, and shows a complete routine. To learn from such great dancer is completely brilliant, highly recommended.— Andrew Barrow

Both in our 60s we started ballroom dancing with Kylie. Had a mix of group and private lessons. She is a wonderful teacher. Patient and encouraging. If you are thinking of trying ballroom, whatever your age then try Kylie. We cannot recommend her highly enough.— Mary McDonald

Brilliant Teacher. Brilliant Fun— Jonathan Neil
