Jordan as a teacher has given me a whole new skill set. From someone who had never done a step of Latin in their life, I have experienced both his group classes and one to one tuition, and I can honestly say it has given me a whole new knowledge of dancing as a woman. Jordan's choreography and classes are always an exciting challenge, which he teachers with patience and enthusiasm, engaging all his students and giving them a strong self belief. Learning from Jordan is a truly special experience.— Lily
Well what can I say about Jordan apart from he is fantastic at what he does.
Myself and my now husband found Jordan to help us with our first dance on our wedding day.
I decided that we were not going for anything easy so we choose Phantom of the Opera and a paso doble. Which after only 17 lessons we were able to dance it with pride.
This is all thanks to Jordan who also attended our wedding.
I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to dance.— Jennifer Lemm
The basic salsa step is simple and most beginners pick it up quickly. Developing timing and partner connection is the ongoing part, and it comes with regular practice.
Yes, and learners here have gone from no experience at all to dancing confidently. Beginner salsa starts from the basic step and assumes no background.
Yes, adult beginner ballet is widely available and very achievable. It builds posture, control and strength at your own pace.
For recreational dancing there is no upper limit, and adults take it up at all ages. Only professional training genuinely depends on starting young.
Common basics include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Most beginner routines recombine these same moves.
Short four-wall dances with repeating patterns are the gentlest introduction. Ask the studio which beginner routine they start with.
