What Dancers Say About Dancebasics

5/5 from 5 Google reviews.

DanceBasics are fantastic! Shannah, Mark and the team are first and foremost really friendly and approachable. My wife and I started 18 months ago having never danced. They took us step by step through each of the different dances. We have met lots of new friends through the classes and the tuition is tailored to your level of dance. My wife and I were bitten by the dance bug and have just got our 2nd set of competition medals! If you want to dance for fun or more competitively I couldn't recommend DanceBasics highly enough.— Ben “Mewsio”

Shannah and Phil taught us to dance for our wedding. Not only are they terrific and patient teachers, but brilliant, talented people too! Since our wedding we have joined the beginners class and are having a great time with our continued dancing education. If you're considering trying dance classes or want to choreograph a wedding routine, I would highly recommend Dancebasics!— Kate Cubley

Absolutely brilliant! Great dance teachers who cater for all ages and all dance levels.— Melissa Mews (Zoo2U UK)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Join a beginner class where the teacher breaks each step down slowly. No partner or prior experience is needed to get started.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is often taught first because its steady rhythm is easy to count. Some schools begin with the ChaChaCha or social foxtrot instead.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many people attend classes alone, and teachers structure sessions so everyone can take part and improve.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing and smooth-soled shoes that allow you to turn are ideal. Avoid grippy trainers, which can catch on the floor.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Costs differ between classes and venues, so it is best to ask directly. Many schools offer a taster or introductory session.

Which dance is best for beginners?

A dance with a simple, repeatable basic step tends to be easiest, and the waltz or ChaChaCha are common first choices. Trying a beginner class helps you decide.
