This school is amazing. My daughter's have been going for 8 years.
The confidence and skills they've gain as well as being part of a great supportive dance family is phenomenal.
Miss Joanna and Miss Hollie are amazing, as are all the dance teachers.
Thank you so much for all you've given to my girls.
After 17 yrs, it's still going strong and with a 100 strong dance school it still has such a great sense of hard work , team ethics and dedication but overall a real family feel. You're kids are not just a number here!
Even better for me no weekends! (Except shows obviously)
Wouldn't send my girl— Kelly Lester

Been bringing my daughters to JK School of Dance for over 11 years and constantly recommend it to others.
Friendly, relaxed and allows children to flourish no matter how good their initial technique is. Warm & supportive towards all. For the children who want to they encourage them to progress with medals & exams.
My girls love going & I am so proud of the dancers they have become thanks to the fantastic teachers.— f p

Wonderful, family friendly, supportive dance school. My daughter has been with JK over 8 years and still loves dancing as much as when she was little. This is due to Jo, Hollie and the brilliant team that helps them. Highly recommend!— Louise Osbourne

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Most beginners join a class or short course covering posture, timing and one or two basic dances, then build up their repertoire gradually as confidence grows.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common first choice, as its steady three-count timing helps you feel the rhythm and hold a proper frame early on.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa has a simple basic step that most people grasp in a first lesson. Timing and partner work take a little practice, but it is very achievable with regular classes.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes. Salsa classes are designed for complete beginners, starting with the basic step and building from there, so no prior dancing experience is needed.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

The grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, shuffle and pivot turn are all common. Most line dances combine these repeating moves into a sequence.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A short four-wall dance with only a few counts is the easiest introduction, and teachers usually build the routine up in stages.
