What Dancers Say About Easton Social Dancing

5/5 from 22 Google reviews.

Tannith is absolutely fantastic – really fun, relaxed and informative teacher. My fiancé and I signed up for a few lessons pre-wedding. We just wanted to be able to confidently deliver a few steps on the floor. Tannith has been great working to that brief but also getting us to challenge ourselves to go further. More than learning a first dance, with Tannith’s help and guidance we both feel we’ve learnt a new skill – and can’t wait to show off! Also a great experience to do with your partner. Highly recommend.— Elizabeth Fisher

Wow where to start!
Tannith is the most lovely, patient, funny knowledgeable dance teacher ever!
We had 2 left feet at the beginning of our lessons. Never did we think in a million years we could pull off a dirty dancing routine, but we did.
She knew exactly how to work with us to get our best. I really can't recommend and thank her enough. We have booked lessons following our wedding as we have so much fun learning something new with her. Thanks so much for helping us make our dream come true!

I couldn’t ask for a better dance teacher! Tannith is amazing, very kind, easy to talk to and you can NEVER be awkward around her. Her guidance and patience is exceptional. I learnt the basics of Waltz, Foxtrot, Samba, Salsa and Bachata in just a month! I recommend Easton Social Dancing to anyone who wants to learn to dance, especially if you feel awkward and anxious about dancing. Tannith opened the world of dancing to me and I couldn’t be more happy about discovering it!— MarcelM

Tannith is an incredible teacher – patient, understanding and has an awesome sense of humour! She put us completely at ease from our very first lesson and we feel super confident going into our first wedding dance (especially the groom who previously had a 5 beer minimum dance limit!).
We’ve had so much fun as a couple and we’re really looking forward to continuing dancing lessons with Tannith after our wedding.
We would 100% recommend Easton Social Dancing! 🙂— Sophie Porter-Thomas

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Start with a beginners' lesson where the teacher introduces the basic hold and footwork of one or two dances, then builds gradually. You can come as a couple or on your own.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first dance thanks to its steady three-time rhythm, which makes the timing easier to feel early on.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is very learnable; the main knack is feeling the timing, and a beginners' session breaks it into manageable steps.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, absolutely. Many people arrive with no dancing experience at all and still pick up the basics.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Line dancing commonly uses the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle, combined into set routines everyone follows.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Simple dances built on repeated grapevines and step-touches are the easiest to start with; ask what is running if line dancing appeals.
