What Dancers Say About Silhouette Dance

5/5 from 20 Google reviews.

My daughter started street dance with Meg about 6 months ago and she loves it. They're always friendly and speak to each child even tho the lessons are only half an hour they find time to do alot. I think half an hour is perfect for my 5 year old, any longer would probably be to much for her personally. Lessons are cheap too and very easy to book. My daughter doesn't know if she wants to be a dancer as she enjoys singing more but we go purely for the exercise, fun and social aspect so they don't necessarily need to be in it to become a professional. We will be going for the foreseeable 😊— April Clarke

My 3 girls went here and have only just stopped because of work & school commitments, there are no words for Meg! She is an amazing person who gives her all to this Dance School and every individual that goes there. My girls grew stronger and more confident each week from shy girls to girls smashing every competition in front of large crowds! Really is a lovely tight knit family feel so do not delay taking your boys or girls there. I miss you all. Mom dance group anyone?!!!!🤣👎🏻— Matt Speight

We started going to the Disney dance classes with my little girl and she adores them – the teachers make it fun and give their students skills and confidence. Lots of opportunities for all age ranges and great support from everyone involved. It’s lovely to see the older girls coming out of class with huge smiles and I know one day when she’s a bit older this will be my daughter. Great friendly place that feels like a dance family rather than a dance school!— Charlotte Miller

Love love love!!! I took my son to the baby classes and he was hooked from start to finish. Everything has so much thought put into it. The structure of the class is great which means the babies don't get bored. A brilliant theme each week. Also making keep sakes which I wouldn't have done myself at home meant so much to put in the baby box!
Amazing teachers who give it their all with so much passion and love.— Laura Atkinson

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Most people begin with a beginners' group class or a private lesson, learning posture, timing and a few basic steps before linking them together. You do not need a partner or any prior experience to get going.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first choice because its slow, steady rhythm makes the timing easy to feel. Many beginners also enjoy a social foxtrot or a simple quickstep early on.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

The basic salsa step is straightforward, so most people can manage a simple pattern within a lesson or two. The finer points of timing and turns take longer, but they come with regular practice.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes. Salsa classes are built for complete beginners, and the basic step is introduced gradually. Turning up consistently matters far more than any natural talent.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Absolutely. Adult ballet classes start from the fundamentals and move at a sensible pace, so you can build technique, strength and flexibility from wherever you begin.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper limit; people take up ballet in their forties, sixties and well beyond. Adult classes focus on enjoyment, posture and steady progress rather than a professional path.
