My little girl goes to Miss Emma and loves the dance and gymnastics class and has been going for a year now. She loves the class, and its really helped her confidence. The class is fun and Miss Emma and her team are lovely and caring. Their productions are fantastic as well. Couldn't recommend highly enough. 🌟😊— Nicola Fenton

Had a great first night at Emma Ledger Feelgood dance class, Years since I did anything like this so my coordination needs some work! But no one was made to feel they weren’t doing it right etc, so did my best and enjoyed it as did all the other ladies. Looking forward to the next class— Mandy Cullen

Great "feeling good" adult class started by Emma last night suiting different age groups. Warm up followed by learning steps to great routine. Lovely class and enjoyable if you like dance and rhythm. Great fun, thanks Emma.— Sue Spooner

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Start with a beginners' class where an instructor covers posture, timing and a few basic steps. You do not need a partner, as many classes rotate or pair people up during the session.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common first dance because its even rhythm makes the timing easy to feel. The social foxtrot is another gentle option that builds transferable posture and movement.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is approachable from the first lesson, built on a repeating basic step. Turns and partner work bring more challenge later, but the early stages usually feel quick to grasp.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, salsa is one of the friendliest styles for complete beginners, and classes generally assume no background. Consistent practice of the basic step is what brings it together.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

The grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle are the core moves. Most beginner dances combine these in different orders.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Repetitive dances such as the Electric Slide are the usual easy introduction, using a small set of steps repeated on each wall. They help you learn the count without much to remember.
