What Dancers Say About Danceworks Unlimited

4.9/5 from 9 Google reviews.

My daughter has been going to Danceworks Unlimited since just before she was 3 years old (she's now 6) doing ballet and tap. She's performed in 2 productions that Claire choregraphed which were held at Landau Forte in front of 200+ people and although my daughter is super shy, she absolutely loved it aand has given her such wonderful confidence. We came away with the filmed footage from both productions which we will treasure for years to come. I can't recommend Claire's Dance studio highly enough for little one's first ballet / tap lessons.— rachael Greenfield

Our daughter has attended Danceworks for more than 4 years – she is now 8 – and thoroughly enjoys her classes. She has successfully passed several exams with Clare's encouragement and tutoring. Clare is such an attentive, focused, professional and caring teacher, she gets the best from her students and works hard to ensure they achieve and exceed their potential. We are pleased we chose a smaller dance school over larger ones – Clare cares about every single pupil in her school and it shows in their show performances too.— Tamsin Dance

Danceworks Unlimited is a family run dance school within a lovely studio, has a well qualified, experienced and caring Principle (Clare Beheshti) and there’s a great choice of classes.
I don’t see myself as a ‘natural’ dancer – I didn’t start young, but I do love my Freestyle Disco classes and taking part in the shows that Clare organises.
If you’re looking to join a class or have children who want to dance, then I highly recommend Danceworks Unlimited – come and join the Danceworks family!— May Blank

I am a PE Coordinator from a local Primary School and we have been using this friendly, family run dance studio for over 6 years. It has enabled our children to experience a real studio, with excellent facilities within the local community and an outstanding dance teacher! The children love having inclusive dance lessons here. I would highly recommend this dance studio over any other in Derby!— Jennifer McCormick

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is among the easier partner dances to begin, as the basic step follows a repeating count grasped in a single session by most people. Fluency and styling take longer, but the basics arrive fast.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes. Total beginners make up much of any starter class, and salsa is routinely taught from the ground up. Consistent practice matters more than talent.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Absolutely. Adult ballet is built for later starters, developing posture, strength and technique gradually. The goals differ from a child's exam path, but real progress is achievable.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper age limit for recreational ballet. Professional careers begin young, but adult classes welcome all ages and adapt to different fitness levels.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common steps include the grapevine, the step-touch, the kick-ball-change, the pivot turn and the shuffle. Line dances combine these familiar moves in different orders.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short, repeating routines such as the Cupid Shuffle or the Electric Slide are popular first choices, since a brief sequence repeats through the song.
