My daughter has been part of the dance community of Cirencester Dance Club for 2years and has gained so much from it. Her fragile confidence was so very carefully nurtured and she progressed from the shyest child in class to performing confidently to an audience of hundreds, at the annual show and loving it! Whether you are looking to progress technical skills, develop confidence or team building skills, you can do it all with CDC. I highly recommend the Cirencester Dance club to anyone interested; so give it a go!— helen flinders
Cirencester dance club are fantastic! They are such a friendly, welcoming group that my daughter felt really comfortable right from the start. And the class she does has a variety of dance, music and singing which she thoroughly enjoys with a lovely group and amazing teachers. During lockdown too the online classes were really uplifting. Really looking forward to what’s to come with this club.— Kelly Loxton
Family friendly from the offset. We have loved getting to know other families through our kids sharing classes. So many different classes available, with discounts as you sign up to more classes. Excellent and enthusiastic teachers. We can’t wait till we can resume classes, in person, but are enjoying the online classes too.— Maria Horton
If you are looking for a dance club whose priorities are enjoyment, dance and community look no further. My girls have enjoyed dancing with the club for several years now. The teachers are all passionate about their craft and, in Tracy, the club has a chair with unrivalled enthusiasm and dedication.— Stuart Robinson
You begin by joining a class where a teacher introduces the basic hold and a few simple steps. From there you build up gradually, with no prior experience required.
The waltz is a common first choice because its rhythm is easy to follow. A teacher can recommend the best dance for your stage.
The grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, a turn and the shuffle are among the most common. They recur across routines, so learning them early pays off.
A short, repeating four-wall dance is the gentlest place to start. The teacher will introduce something simple first.
Yes, many classes are taught individually or in groups, so no partner is needed. Plenty of people take part on their own.
Comfortable clothes that move with you and appropriate soft-soled shoes are all you need. Nothing formal is required for a first visit.
