What Dancers Say About Bristol Dance Company Studio

5/5 from 6 Google reviews.

I have been with Lisa since 2006 Learning to dance. It started as lessons for our Wedding dance and we haven't looked back since, i'm only 36 now So i started dancing in my 20's (just) so you are never too young or think its too old to have a go. Not only is it great exercise, it is a really great place place to meet new friends, whether you come alone for the company or you drag your partner along, with its fully licensed bar – you can have a drink while your partner dances. I love going and when you turn your two left feet into something that can move across the dance floor – it looks ama— Gareth Edwards

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The usual route is a beginners' group class where you learn posture, hold and a few basic figures before joining steps together. You can start solo or as a couple, and no previous experience is assumed.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common first choice because its rise and fall teaches timing and balance that carry into other dances. Some teachers begin with a simpler social foxtrot or quickstep instead.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa's basic step is quick to grasp, though the timing takes a little practice to feel natural. Most people are moving confidently within a few sessions.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, complete beginners take up salsa all the time. Classes start from the very first step, so no background in dance is needed.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common building blocks include the grapevine, the step-touch, the kick-ball-change, the pivot turn and the shuffle. These few moves reappear across many line dances.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short, repeating routines with only a handful of counts are the gentlest introduction. A teacher will usually start you on a simple dance built from a couple of basic steps.
