What Dancers Say About BPM Dance Academy

4.9/5 from 56 Google reviews.

My girls have been taught by Luke and Kat for 5 years this year! My eldest has gone from an after school interest in dance to a passionate dedicated dancer in both street dance and contemporary who has been so inspired by BPM that she now wants to become professional. This just proves how amazing this dance school is! My youngest is rapidly improving and is getting more passionate every week! The friendships that they both have made offer a whole new social life. In Crew, the teams all support each other providing a real family feel! Best of all- every year Crews go to Camber! A massive dance— Jennie Starkey

BPM guys are amazing, they are really good with little ones and my 4yo daughter who has been doing it since she was 3 – loves their classes.💕
She does the moves from the lessons whenever the music is on and she proudly tells everyone that she goes to Hip hop classes. Little ones are unpredictable with how they may be at the lessons, and while she keeps changing her mind about all her other activities – this is the only one she wants to keep doing ))) Full credit to Kat & Luke who treat kids as little adults and are fantastic at teaching children. Highly recommend!
P.s. I wish I was 4 again and— Nataliya Reed

My boys started classes when they were 8 and 5, and 8 years later, we’re still here!! The fact they’ve given up everything else but dance over the years speaks volumes for this.

I don’t know the kind of young men they’d be now if they’d chosen a different outlet, but I truly love, and wouldn’t change the ones they’ve become, which I genuinely believe has been influenced by their friends here, the teachers and the performances they’ve taken part in.

On a selfish note, it’s been pretty amazing for me also. I’ve gained some wonderful lifelong friends out of it, who I’d never have had the opport— Natasha Gentle

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

A beginners' class introducing the hold, posture and a simple dance is the usual first step. From there, further dances and figures are added over time. It is worth checking which styles a school specialises in before enrolling.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common starting dance because its steady rhythm is easy to feel. A livelier dance is often taught alongside it to add variety.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa's basic step comes quickly, with difficulty building as you add turns and timing. Beginners usually find it more accessible than they imagined.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, salsa beginners' classes assume no prior experience. Regular practice is what develops the skill.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Adults can take up ballet at any stage, with classes designed for grown-up beginners. Technique develops gradually and enjoyably.

What age is too late to start ballet?

It is never too late to start, and adults of all ages take up ballet. For adult learners the aim is technique, posture and enjoyment rather than competition.
