I recently completed the Street Dance beginners course at Dancebuzz and I can only say positive things about the experience.
The sessions were extremely fun! During the first half of each class, we focused on learning basic Street Dance steps, which we would then incorporate to the routines we learnt during the second half of the sessions.
Marta, our teacher, was very encouraging and friendly. She always took the time to ensure everyone was following the steps she was teaching and was happy to answer any questions or share useful tips that would help us master the more challenging moves.

I have been doing Street dance with Dancebuzz since September completing two sets of progressive beginners courses with Luise. I have had the best time learning to dance with those guys and I look forward to more in the new year! The classes are fun and energetic with awesome music choices and at the same time completely manageable for beginners as everything is broken down into easy to follow chunks. There are only good vibes and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming which is exactly what I need after a long day in the office!— S ali
"As a beginner, I was unsure what to expect and was a little worried before going for my first class. Once the teacher made the introduction and the class started, all my fears disappeared! The music selection was great and the course was fun and very well taught so I could track my progress week by week. I look forward to my class each week – I think that says it all!"— Tariq Ali
Salsa is fairly straightforward to begin, with the timing being the main thing to master early on. That said, this particular course focuses on street dance rather than salsa.
Yes, complete beginners learn salsa all the time through dedicated beginner courses. For street dance specifically, no previous experience is needed either.
Adults can absolutely learn ballet when it is taught at the right level. This school specialises in street dance, so ballet would be found elsewhere.
There is no age at which recreational ballet becomes off limits. Adult classes concentrate on technique and enjoyment rather than professional ambitions.
Line dancing usually starts with the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and simple weight shifts. These are combined into short repeating routines.
Short dances with a simple sequence are the gentlest way in. Since the focus here is street dance, ask about line dancing options separately.
