Chris & Lucy Beaumont School of Dance is a family-friendly dance school run by Chris and Lucy Beaumont. It welcomes dancers of all ages, boys and girls alike, and has a strong reputation for helping newcomers feel at home. It is a good fit for families who want a supportive, sociable place to dance and perform.
Reviews describe professionally trained teachers who warmly welcome new pupils and help them build confidence, often across more than one generation of the same family. Regular shows and a sociable atmosphere make it as much a community as a class.
The school helps dancers develop their skills and confidence across a range of ages, with plenty of opportunities to perform along the way. The specific styles, levels and days on offer are best confirmed directly, as these can vary from term to term. Anyone keen to join is encouraged to get in touch to find a class that suits.
Newcomers are warmly welcomed and eased in, with no expectation that you already know the steps. Comfortable clothing you can move in and soft shoes are enough to start, and the teachers will advise on anything more specific.
As the school's exact base is best confirmed directly, it is worth asking about location and the easiest way to get there. The team can point you to the most convenient option.

Yes, much of dance needs no partner, from technique classes to solo styles and line dancing. Joining on your own is perfectly normal.
Comfortable clothing that allows free movement and soft, flat shoes are all you need to begin. The school can confirm whether a class calls for specific footwear.
Fees vary by class length, style and whether you pay per session or per term. For current pricing it is best to ask the school directly.
It depends on what appeals to the dancer, as a broad technique class suits younger pupils while sociable styles suit those who mainly want to enjoy moving. Trying a class is the surest way to decide.
Many adults enjoy sociable styles such as salsa or ballroom, which are welcoming and fun. Others prefer the structure of a technique class, so it comes down to what you are after.
Gentle dancing can be a pleasant light activity, but anyone with heart failure should speak to their doctor before starting. A medical professional can advise on a safe level of exertion.
