What Dancers Say About Adrian Marsh School of Dance

4.4/5 from 8 Google reviews.

I have been dancing both Ballroom and Latin and 50s Jive Rock n Roll at Newton Longeville on a thursday evening for the last few months. It is a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a thursday evening!! Both Adrian and Sara are fantastic teachers, they take the time to demonstrate and explain the dance moves and provide you with extra help when dancing if you need it.
It is a very sociable evening, all the dancers who go are very friendly and you can sit chatting before and after class, and there is the added bonus of having bar!! Adrian and Sara encourage the social side of dancing with them, by— Toni Bull

We’ve been dancing the jive with Sara & Adrian for a few years now. Every lesson is full of fun, and the standard of teaching is excellent. Adrian’s attention to detail means you don’t just learn the moves; you also learn to dance with style. Everyone gets their share of one-to-one expert tuition from Sara or Adrian as you rotate partners over the course of the evening. We’ve progressed from being complete beginners to confident jivers – and it’s opened up a new world of attending dance weekends and local events with the new friends we’ve made at the classes.— Stuart Churchill

A great place to learn to dance! Adrian and Sara are brilliant teachers. They are kind and patient and can make any class fun, even when you don't always get the steps right!! I can't thank them enough for teaching not only myself, but also my husband who I never thought would be able to dance with me 🙂— Karen Briggs

I love this line dancing group. Adrian and Sara are such good teachers, they make it fun. If you have ever wanted to try line dancing and felt a bit too shy, make it your new year's resolution to have a go !!— Ruth Todd

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is quick to begin, with a simple basic step you can grasp in a single lesson. The subtleties of timing and partner work take longer, but develop steadily with practice. It is regarded as a friendly dance for newcomers.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes. Beginner salsa classes are made for people with no experience whatsoever, breaking the movement down step by step. Many keen dancers began with none.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, and adult beginner ballet is widely taught. It calls for patience, but the posture, strength and technique are all achievable regardless of when you take it up.

What age is too late to start ballet?

No age is too late. Adults begin ballet in later life for enjoyment and its physical benefits. Working at a level that suits your body is what matters.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, jazz box and pivot turn. Most line dances arrange these familiar steps into a repeating sequence.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A dance built on one short, repeating pattern is the easiest to start with, since you learn a single sequence and repeat it around the floor. Slow, clear teaching makes a first line dance easy to follow.
