Bojangles Dance School is based on Christchurch Street West in Frome, Somerset. It teaches a range of styles to both children and adults, with classes that learners often stick with for years. The school appeals to families and to grown-ups picking up dance for the first time.
Long-standing students speak of a patient, supportive teacher and choreography they love, with one adult describing more than a decade of classes after starting with no experience at all. That loyalty points to a school where people feel genuinely at home and keep coming back.

I am so glad I found Bojangles my daughter started off in melody bears and loved every second now she’s moved up to the next class she enjoys it so much she has started 2 more classes Nicole is so good with the children , she is so patient and makes learning fun. As for the adult classes I cannot fault her, we have the best time the biggest laughs her knowledge of dance is unbelievable she has even managed to get my 2 left feet working how they should. If you or your children want to learn to dance you’d be crazy to go anywhere else !!— Sarah Kick
I have been coming to Bojangles as an adult dancer for 12 years after having no previous experience dancing. I was made to feel so welcome and the group of ladies is such a nice safe space and Nicola has the absolute patience of a Saint. I love all the choreography that she thinks up and also see how much the children love to go dancing on a Saturday. A brilliant safe space to learn to dance.— Amy Wroe
I have been a student at Bojangles for around 10 years now and train in ballet, tap and street dance. Nicola is an amazing dance teacher, supportive and makes all of her classes enjoyable. She has supported me so amazingly with my dancing journey throughout the years and I can’t thank her enough! Bojangles is full of supportive students as well, you can feel at ease here ❤️— Rosie Dover
Nicola is a great teacher who is always positive and encouraging. Her pupils range from tiny tots to the retired (!) and yet she has ability to bring out the best in them all. The routines her classes perform in the summer shows are amazing and a credit to her. I thoroughly recommend her classes to anyone and everyone 😊— Penny Welsh
The basic step is quick to pick up, while timing and styling grow with practice. Regular attendance makes progress noticeably faster.
Yes. Beginner salsa is built for people with no experience, teaching the rhythm and footwork in small steps.
Common building blocks include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turns and heel or toe taps.
A short dance using grapevines and a simple turn is the gentlest way in. The teacher can suggest one suited to beginners.
Yes. Many of the styles taught here, from ballet to street, need no partner, and solo learners are welcome.
Comfortable clothing that allows movement and appropriate soft-soled shoes are best. The school can advise on footwear for a specific style.
