Dance Crazy came along at the perfect time in my life where I was really missing ‘dancing for myself’ and my training amongst teaching others full time. I come from a classical and theatre dance background but have always wanted to learn Latin and Ballroom😍 Since Joining the school as a complete Ballroom and Latin beginner coming up 3 years ago, I have never looked back and have had the best time! Dance Crazy are really like one big family, with a big focus on fun but also motivating and inspiring you to achieve the best you can! The lessons and social classes and competitions Are such amazing— Clare Marie Nicholas

I wouldn’t be without dancing now. After rediscovering ballroom and Latin as an adult I couldn’t recommend Dance Crazy highly enough. I quickly went from a social dancer to regular competitor and travel the country getting to dance in amazing events at Blackpool, the home of dance. The teaching team is so friendly and they make lessons fun as well as delivering quality choreography and opportunities to take part in shows and events.— Theresa Williams

Dance Crazy are a professional and family friendly team who are all fully committed with children and adults who attend every week and this is reflected in results achieved in competitions, medal tests and shows. My child enjoys being taught to dance Ballroom and Latin with a lovely group of children and we would both recommend the school to anyone wishing to take up dance as a hobby or a competitive friendly sport.— Bruce Voss

I first went along to Dance Crazy to learn a few basics in ballroom and Latin before going on a cruise. 6 years later I'm a dedicated regular.
Dancing has added a whole new dimension to my life, so it's a very big Thank You from me to the Dance Crazy Team!— Janet Charney

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The usual starting point is a beginners' group class that teaches posture, hold and a couple of foundation dances. Many people then add private lessons once they want to develop faster.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is frequently taught first because its measured three-count rhythm helps beginners feel the timing. Some teachers open with a livelier dance instead.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

The basic salsa step is easy to learn, often within one lesson. Mastering turns and timing takes longer, but that is where much of the enjoyment lies.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes. Beginner salsa is designed for people starting from scratch, introducing the basics step by step until you can move through a simple routine.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

It is entirely possible, and adult classes cater specifically to those beginning later in life, with a focus on steady progress and enjoyment.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper age limit for recreational ballet. Adults at any stage of life can take it up and reap the benefits.
