What Dancers Say About Ace Dance Studios

4.9/5 from 11 Google reviews.

This professional company is fantastic! Laura and all her assistants are great with the kids. My 6 year old daughter Jessica has only been with her for a term, but her confidence has grown so much! She did her first show on stage with Dance in The Park with only about 4-5 lessons, and so I was quite nervous for her. She totally shocked me, was just as confident as everybody else, and most importantly has a smile on her face throughout.

I look forward to every term that comes to see how much more she progresses. She is very excited top come back after the summer holidays, and never seen so muc— Stacey Andrews

I have had the pleasure of working with this dance company for over 7 years now. The energy and professionalism of all involved ( both teachers and dancers ) is second to none, with every year and every performance Ace just gets better and better and with Laura's artistic creativity there is still more to come. I have also seen many previous Ace dancers move on to professional careers within the dance industry, a credit to both Ace and the dancers themselves.— Howard White

My daughter has been coming to Dance in Park with Laura since she was 4 years old. She is now 13.
For the past year she has also got into the ACE Juniors group. She has continued to do both as she really enjoys it. Laura, Nick & Emily are excellent teachers & make the classes fun & enjoyable whilst teaching some great routines & styles of dance. I'd highly recommend 😀— donna garwood

Couldn't recommend Laura enough for her amazing work with the children. I enrolled my daughter who struggled with separation, anxiety and extremely shy. She now happily goes in and even does the shows. That's from all the dedication from the teachers for all their hard work and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.— Stacy Rush

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Most people begin with a beginners' group class where the basic frame, posture and a couple of simple dances are introduced. There is no need to arrive knowing anything; the teacher builds each step up slowly so you find your feet over a few weeks.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common starting point because its steady three-beat rhythm is easy to feel, while the social foxtrot is another gentle introduction. Both give you the posture and timing that carry over into other dances.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, and many people take up ballet for the first time well into adulthood. Adult beginner classes move at a sensible pace and focus on posture, strength and coordination rather than aiming for a professional path.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper limit for recreational ballet. Adults of any age can enjoy the discipline for its strength, poise and grace, working at a level that suits their body and goals.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common building blocks include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, coaster step and a pivot turn. These few moves reappear across many dances, so learning them opens up a large repertoire.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short four-wall routines with a repeating sequence are the gentlest way in, since the same pattern returns after each turn. Teachers usually begin with a slow, familiar dance so the timing is easy to catch.
