What Dancers Say About Blue Butterfly Studios

4.9/5 from 34 Google reviews.

My daughter has been at Blue Butterfly Studio from the age of 5. She started off as a Caterpillar, once at school we changed classes and took up Tap and Showtime. We have now added Ballet to the mix and Dramatix.

I started my daughter with Blue Butterfly as she was always singing and dancing, a right happy soul. I wanted to embrace that quality. By joining Blue Butterfly she has made friends, other than school friends. She has grown in confidence. She can be a little sassy at times but i see it as her personality growing.

As a parent I like to help Chaperoning when it’s Showtime. The childre— Natalie Keigher

Absolutely brilliant dance company!
My daughter was lacking in self esteem and confidence until she joined Blue Butterflies. She started at an after school club and done a few dances in the last show, which has given her the bug to do more! She now participates in the Showtime class and will perform a lot more than previous, she’s even bagged herself a solo!!! My nervous, little girl is now full of confidence and sass, and has formed into a true butterfly 🦋
Thank you Amy and team u guys work so hard and it really does make a difference!!— Steph Mills

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Beginners usually start with a group class that introduces basic hold, timing and a first dance. Private lessons can follow later for those wanting to polish their skills.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first choice because its slow rhythm makes the counts clear. Teachers sometimes begin with a livelier dance depending on the class.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes. Plenty of adults take up ballet later in life, and classes aimed at grown-ups focus on gradual progress and enjoyment rather than early training.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no age at which recreational ballet becomes off-limits. Adults of any age can learn and benefit from the technique.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common building blocks include the grapevine, the kick-ball-change, the shuffle, the pivot turn and the heel dig. Most beginner routines combine a handful of these into a repeating sequence.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Simple, well-known routines with short repeating sequences tend to be easiest, as the same steps come round again and again. A teacher will usually start you on one of these before adding variety.
