What Dancers Say About Flow Dance Oval

4.7/5 from 69 Google reviews.

I started going dancing with my (now) wife at Flow Dance a couple of years ago as a birthday present to her and we've not stopped since.

The classes cater for people of all abilities and the inductors are friendly and clear. The classes for beginners and intermediates with Elena are easy to understand and you feel no pressure no matter how good/bad you think you are!!! The advanced classes look amazing and the number of talented dancers attending those is really inspiring.

We were delighted to have our wedding dance choreographed by Elena from Flow Dance and all the guests at our wedding wer— Ben Pilling

My partner and I attended a social night event in Oct 2021, the flow dance team created the perfect environment for everyone to join and enjoy the night. Live performances from students and professionals, followed by group sessions for everyone independent from our level. We even participated in a friendly Jive competition! My partner was so in love with what she saw that now she is attending group sessions every week! Definitely recommended, and we'll be back on the next social night! Thank you!— Ander Caneda
