I have been attending classes at Carol’s dance studio for 22years. Carol & her other dance teachers have taught me to dance really well & I totally love her lessons. I have always been treated with total respect & professionalism. If your child or you want to learn to dance to a professional level, I would advise you to go to Carol’s dance studio. But alternatively, Carol’s socials are such good fun so go for the laugh & enjoyment. If you want a good time go dancing with Carol— Lynda Brooker

I've been attending the dance school for years, since 2006. Carol and her team of teachers are so professional and put even the absolute beginners at ease. Rightly so her classes are always well attended and so to are her special party nights for Valentine's Day, Summer Ball and other events throughout the year. Whatever party night takes place, it's guaranteed to be great fun. Long may she continue.— Julian Linsel

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is quite manageable for beginners, resting on a simple repeating rhythm and a handful of core steps. Most people find the timing within a class or two, and fluency follows with practice.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, many salsa dancers began with no experience at all. Beginner sessions assume nothing and build the moves gradually so newcomers can keep up.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common moves include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. They recur across many dances, so learning them helps with a wide range of routines.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Short four-wall dances with a simple repeating sequence are easiest for newcomers. You follow the group and pick up the pattern as it goes rather than memorising it first.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes, plenty of styles are danced solo or in groups, and partner dances usually rotate so you can attend alone. There is no need to bring anyone with you.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothes that let you move and a smooth-soled shoe are ideal to begin with. Bring water and steer clear of anything too tight or restrictive.
