What Dancers Say About IconDanceLessons

4.5/5 from 8 Google reviews.

As complete novices to ballroom and latin dancing, Jayne has managed to teach us some actual moves! We can now put some steps together rather than just shuffling around the dance floor. We are enjoying it so much, and that is down to Jayne. She makes you feel at ease, encourages you and adapts her teaching method to suit the individual. She puts it in a way that makes sense! And for that we can't thank her enough. Long may we…. KEEP DANCING!— Sandra Waddington-Wilson

Jayne is highly personable and puts you at your ease, and is skilled in the art of communication – much needed to help people get comfortable with dancing. I have not yet taken her up on her lessons but when the time is right I would not hesitate to do so. Apart from her personality she has completed the relevant qualifications to teach.— Alison Jarvis

We have been enjoying private lessons with Jayne at icon dance for some time now. Always come away with a smile on our faces and uplifted spirits. Managed a few dances too – jive, salsa, chacha, waltz, and currently having fun doing our own bespoke Viennese Waltz – which will be shared with friends and family one day😊💃🏻🕺🏻— Michelle Sinclair

Jayne is so patient and professional it’s makes the learning so much fun!— John Davies

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Group formats need no partner and partner classes often rotate everyone, so nobody is left out. It is worth asking the teacher about the best option for you.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothes you can move in and smooth-soled shoes that allow turning are ideal. Avoid trainers with heavy grip. Keep some water to hand.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Costs vary with the format, length and whether lessons are group or private. Private tuition usually costs more than group sessions. Check current prices with the teacher.

Which dance is best for beginners?

A dance with a clear, steady rhythm such as the waltz suits newcomers, while the cha-cha offers a livelier introduction. Much depends on the music you like. The best first dance is one you enjoy.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

Many adults begin with a social ballroom or Latin style taught step by step. Starting with something relaxed builds confidence. The jive and waltz are both popular first choices.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Light dancing can be a gentle activity, but anyone with a heart condition should consult their GP first. A doctor can advise on safe exertion. Follow medical guidance before joining in.
