I'm not sure where to begin.
Yasmin Amber school of dance has been the best place for my daughter to learn, develop and grow in confidence.
Miss Yasmin is the kindest teacher, with the biggest heart for her dancers. I love the way she knows each of them and anticipates their needs. My daughter and I are so blessed by this wonderful lady and her team.
When we first signed up I was a little anxious but Miss Yasmin was professional and informative whilst also being kind and reassuring. I can't sing her praises enough.

My daughter joined Yasmin Amber for Ballet last September, during the free trial she was made to feel very welcome and encouraged to join in – this was so important as my girl (7yrs at the time) is on the shy side in new situations. So much so, that she decided there and then that she wanted to join and off we went to purchase ballet shoes.
She has since decided to also join the musical theatre session too – and that has really boosted her confidence through fun and I yeractive sessions
Earlier this year my child passed her first ballet exam, and if it wasn't for the current Covid-19 situation— Michelle
Both of my daughters dance here and I couldn’t ask for a better place for them to be. They have grown in confidence like you wouldn’t believe. Everything is taught at their own pace and in such a nurturing environment to get the best out of every student. Some dance schools can be so pushy. My girls do so many classes between them now it’s like a second home for them! Couldn’t recommend enough and so glad I found Yasmin Amber.— Ali S
My daughter absolutely loves coming to the Mini Mix class and the teachers and all the helpers are so lovely and have a lovely way with the children.
Having a show at the end of the year is such a great way for the children to show us what they have been doing and was great to watch.— Julie Dodoo
The simplest way is a beginners' class where the steps and hold are introduced in easy stages. No partner or experience is needed to begin.
The waltz is often learnt first, as its steady three-count rhythm makes the timing easy to feel. Dances like the foxtrot or quickstep are natural progressions.
The basic salsa step is quick to grasp, with the practice going into keeping time. Before long the movement feels instinctive.
Yes, salsa classes are made for beginners and expect no experience. The steps are taught gradually so anyone can follow.
Typical moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Most routines combine these few steps, so learning them opens up many dances.
Dances such as the Electric Slide use a small set of repeated steps, making them ideal first attempts. Beginners can enjoy a whole routine without a difficult start.
