What Dancers Say About Momentum Dance School

5/5 from 11 Google reviews.

My daughter adores coming to classes here. Both Megané and Alex are wonderful teachers nurturing the children's dance skills and confidence. There is an annual show where the children are encouraged to share what they have learnt over the year; it is an absolute pleasure to the see the joy and enthusiasm on the children's faces as they perform.— Caryna Tulip

Highly Recommend! Great dance class! We struggled to find a suitable dance class where my daughter would fit into, but she looks forward to going every single week. She has progressed so much in such a short amount of time. The classes focus on the techniques of dance without losing the fun element. Thankyou for all your hard work.— Stacey Louise

Can not thank enough and speak more highly of this dance school and Megane. My daughter started as a clingy, shy 6 year old and has blossomed in to a confident and resilient dancer. She loves it so much she now does Jazz, Contemporary and Lyrical style dance classes and even enjoyed performing in the Christmas show 💕💕— Elizabeth Wookey

The end of year show was amazing, my daughter absolutely loved taking part in it and we loved watching it. Megane did a great job of having a professional, well organised show that the children enjoyed attending but without the extortionate extra costs that many dance schools have. Thank you, Megane!— Z and A

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Begin with a beginners class where the teacher introduces one dance slowly and clearly. You learn the hold, a basic step and how to move in time with a partner. Regular attendance is what turns those first steps into confidence.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first dance because its steady three-count rhythm is easy to follow. The social foxtrot is another gentle option. Both build the posture and partnering that later dances depend on.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

The basic salsa step is quick to learn, so most people are moving in their first lesson. Timing and turns take longer and reward steady practice. A few weeks of regular classes is usually enough to feel at ease.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, beginners courses are built for people with no experience. The movement is broken into small repeated pieces until it feels natural. Most newcomers dance a basic pattern by the end of their first class.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Typical building blocks are the grapevine, the step-touch, the kick-ball-change, the pivot turn and the shuffle. Beginner routines mostly recombine these few moves. Learn them and new dances come together far more easily.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A short four-wall dance with only a handful of counts is usually the gentlest start. The pattern repeats as you turn to each wall, keeping the memory load light. It builds confidence before longer routines.
