Ian and Jannine are the most fantastic coaches anybody could ask for. I started dancing a year and a half ago for the first time in my life. Despite being nervous and having two left feet, Ian and Jannine were so friendly and encouraging from the start. Although it can take me a long time to pick up the moves, they understand this and are patient whilst they work through them with me slowly until I am able to grasp them.
Ian and Jannine are brilliant coaches with a great dynamic between the two of them and together they create a fun, inclusive environment to dance in. I never imagined myself e— Louise Turner

Salsa is beginner-friendly, built on a simple repeating step you can learn in your first session. Real fluency takes time, but the basics come quickly.
Yes. Beginner salsa is full of people who have never danced, and the timing is taught from the very start. No background is assumed.
It is. Adult ballet begins with the fundamentals and develops strength and flexibility over time, whatever age you start.
There is no upper limit. Adults take up ballet at all ages for posture, control and enjoyment, working at a comfortable pace.
Common steps include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Routines join these repeated moves together.
A short four-wall dance with a simple repeating sequence is the gentlest start. Teachers usually choose one that brings quick success.
