What Dancers Say About Dancing With Louise

4.8/5 from 16 Google reviews.

My girls and I have been loving Louise's classes and summer camps for over 12 years. Over the years both my daughters have developed great confidence and made friends! One especially in hiphop dance, performing in shows; the other in musical theatre, achieving high grades in Lamda exams. As for me – I find the Zumba classes so fun and welcoming, and in this party atmosphere I always find energy I never knew I had!— Laura Jaffe

The zumba routines are fantastic, classes and instructors are full of energy. But the most important you come away from a class feeling on top of the world. Whenever a song comes on the radio from a zumba class I have to stop what I am doing and dance out the routine. Highly recommended their classes to everyone.— Alison Kiersz

Going to Zumba class at Dancing With Louise is the highlight of my week. Louise has so much energy when she teaches which inspires and motivates my friends and I when we come.

This is by far the best Zumba class I have ever been to and I will continue coming each week! Highly recommend! Thanks Louise!x— Natasha Black

Dancing with Louise has incredible hip hop classes for teens during the week with energetic routines and great teachers, with good music. Louise makes exercise a fun activity through dance and gives those who attend her classes something to look forward to! Would definitely recommend.— Gabriella Jaffe

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes, a great deal of dancing needs no partner at all. Styles such as hip-hop, musical theatre and fitness dancing are performed solo within a group. Even partnered dances are often taught in classes that rotate people, so you can join alone.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move freely in is the main thing, such as leggings or a t-shirt and joggers. For fitness-based dancing, supportive trainers work well, while other styles may call for soft shoes. When in doubt, ask the teacher what suits the class.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices vary by school, location and class length, so the best guide is to ask the provider directly. Many schools offer a taster or a first session before you commit to a term. Block bookings and memberships often work out cheaper per class.

Which dance is best for beginners?

The best beginner dance is usually one that matches what you enjoy, since motivation keeps you attending. Fitness-led styles are approachable because they are forgiving of small mistakes. Trying a taster class is the surest way to find your fit.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

Adults often begin with an accessible group style such as fitness dancing, salsa or a beginners ballroom class. The right choice depends on whether you want social dancing, performance or exercise. A taster session helps you decide before committing.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Gentle dancing can be part of a healthy, active lifestyle, but anyone with heart failure should speak to their doctor before starting. A medical professional can advise on safe intensity for your situation. Always let your instructor know about any health conditions.
