What Dancers Say About June Glennie

4.6/5 from 9 Google reviews.

My son and daughter have both attended the June Glennie School of Dance. My son suffers from crippling anxiety and with the support of Beth, Ruth and Sharon, he went on to perform in shows and take exams in ballet, modern and tap. Although he no longer attends he still speaks highly of the school and he gained a great deal of confidence and it improved his co-ordination. My daughter has been a June Glennie dancer since she was 4 (now 10) she loves the classes, the friendships she has made and the confidence dance has given her. She loves taking part in shows and has done well in examinations. — Helen Stokes-Hayward

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Most people begin in a beginners' class that covers posture, hold and a first dance such as the waltz. You need neither a partner nor prior experience to start.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common first choice because its steady three-beat rhythm is easy to follow. Many dancers then move on to the quickstep or a Latin dance.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

The grapevine, step touch, kick ball change, pivot turn and shuffle are among the core moves. Learning them prepares you for most beginner routines.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

A short four-wall dance with a repeating pattern is usually the simplest starting point. It lets you dance a full routine with confidence early on.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes, ballet, modern, tap and line dancing are all danced without a partner. Partner styles frequently rotate people so none is required.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable, fitted dancewear and the right shoes for the style work best. The school can tell you exactly what to bring for each class.
