I have a lesson here every week. Sam is amazing. Has the patience of Job. The lessons are varied, friendly and fun. It doesn't matter whether you're experienced or a complete beginner with two left feet and you walk like a drunken giraffe like me, Sam is totally committed and professional. She absolutely knows her stuff and is fabulous.— Sarah Moran

I was pretty uncomfortable with the idea of starting dance classes as it pretty much terrified me, but there's a really friendly and reassuring atmosphere and it took all of five minutes for them to get me on my feet and for the lessons to actually start to sink in i'd definitely recommend it for anyone who's looking to start.— Liam Hopwood

I would highly recommend joining this dance school whether a novice or advanced. I joined in April thinking no one could teach me to dance as I thought I had 2 left feet , how wrong I was. Sam is wonderful, very patient and extremely experienced, come along and have some fun , you won't be disappointed.— Gail Passmore

I have classes here every week. I love going. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Sam is an absolutely amazing teacher. She made me feel really comfortable and confident in returning to dance after 4 years. The classes are always really fun and I always look forward to the next class.— Catriona Hardy

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is quite learnable once the timing settles, which is what beginners focus on first. With patient teaching and a bit of practice it soon starts to feel natural, even if you think you have two left feet.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, and many people who were sure they could not dance end up doing just fine. Beginner classes start from the very first step and assume no experience at all.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

It certainly is; plenty of adults take up ballet later in life and enjoy the technique and poise it builds. Adult classes are paced with later starters in mind.

What age is too late to start ballet?

No age is too late to begin ballet or any dance, and adults take it up at every stage of life. Enjoyment and steady progress matter far more than the age you start.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many styles are danced solo, and in partner dances the teaching here is set up so you can take part whether you come alone or with someone.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move freely in and smooth-soled shoes that let you turn easily are ideal. Bring some water, and there is no need for anything specialist to get started.
